Paul Memmott is a descendant of Scottish potters and painters. He has had a 50-year life experience and career working as an architect, anthropologist and agent for change with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples across Australia. He is a transdisciplinary researcher based at University of Queensland, recognising the need to join with Indigenous communities and organisations to bring transformative approaches to improving quality of lifestyle and wellbeing in the face of longitudinal disadvantage and the endeavour for self-determination. One of his books, Gunyah, Goondie + Wurley: The Aboriginal Architecture of Australia, won three national book awards.
A major step forward in building a deeper understanding by all Australians of what 'Country' is: that everything is part of the same continuum - nature, land, sea, sky, humans and what they design and build and how they learn about and respond to Country. Design and architecture are not nouns, they are verbs. To understand Country, its Songlines and knowledge has never been more important. -- Lucy Turnbull AO
