Julia Watson, a landscape architect, author, and educator, developed a passion for global cultures and knowledge as a child in Australia, inspired by her parents' National Geographic collection. She has since dedicated her career to exploring traditional knowledge systems and their application to contemporary design challenges like extreme weather, waste management, and population growth.At the heart of Watson's work is a profound respect for indigenous knowledge systems and a commitment to applying Traditional Ecological Knowledge (TEK) to climate-adaptive design. Through her work with Lo-TEK, including the recently launched Lo-TEK Office for Intercultural Urbanism, and her books, Lo-TEK: Design by Radical Indigenism and the upcoming Lo-TEK Water (November 30 release), she strives to facilitate the equitable exchange and implementation of indigenous knowledge and technology to the crucial and complex challenges of our evolving world.<a href="https://www.cleverpodcast.com/blog/julia-watson-lo-tek-climate-adaptive-design-indigneous-technology" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Images, links and more from Julia Watson on our website!</a>Special thanks to our sponsor - <a href="https://www.wix.com/studio" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Wix Studio</a> is a platform built for all web creators to design, develop, and manage exceptional web projects at scale.Clever is hosted & produced by<a href="https://www.cleverpodcast.com/about" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> Amy Devers</a>, with editing by<a href="https://www.markzurawinskimusic.com/audio-work.html" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> Mark Zurawinski,</a> production assistance from Ilana Nevins and Anouchka Stephan, and music by<a href="https://www.elteneleven.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> El Ten Eleven</a>.<a href="https://www.cleverpodcast.com/subscribe" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">SUBSCRIBE</a> - listen to Clever on any podcast app!<a href="https://www.cleverpodcast.com/subscribe" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">SIGN UP</a> - for our Substack for news, bonus content, new episode alerts<a href="https://www.cleverpodcast.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">VISIT</a> - cleverpodcast.com for transcripts, images, and<a href="https://www.cleverpodcast.com/all-pisodes" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> 200+ more episodes</a>SAY HI! - on<a href="https://bit.ly/4jEzIz3" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> Instagram</a> &<a href="https://bit.ly/4kVhniZ" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> LinkedIn</a> @cleverpodcast @amydeversSpecial thanks to our sponsors!<ul><li><a href="https://www.wix.com/studio" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Wix Studio</a> is a platform built for all web creators to design, develop, and manage exceptional web projects at scale.</li><li>Saily: get an exclusive 15% discount on Saily data plans!
