Truganini: The Story of Tasmania’s First People | Hindsight

When Truganini died, she was mistakenly declared the last Tasmanian Aboriginal.

Could it be that the more accommodating our #environment is, the more we lose the ability to take care of ourselves? Could there be importance in the latrine communication of European rabbits that shifts along a rural-to-urban gradient? Can that express the upcoming shift of humanity into The Great Reset?

"The unbelievable power of nature; how stress guides animals and plants", puts forward the notion that the concept that we call "Stress" is not the evil villain we have been made to believe, instead is an integral part of life, often poorly represented and misunderstood.

Madlen Ziege is an active Biologist since 2009. Her last name "Ziege" in German translates to "Goat" in English; perhaps she was pre-determined to be a Biologist.

She has worked and studied in #Germany, #France, #Mexico, #Canada, #Japan and #Tasmania. Specializing in the #behaviour of #animals and #ecology of #plants, Madlen created the "urban to rural gradient", She has written 2 books and has authored over 30 scientific publications.

The original reason she wanted to become a Biologist was to learn to connect to nature and reality. Madlen now realizes that the scholastic approach to #biology often severs that connection and creates generations of numb scientists disconnected from reality, who are more than glad to work for big pharma and harm life in the process.

She now even questions while being on the board of directors for an organization that aims to protect wildlife against the ill effects of GMOs and #pollution, if environmentalism is nothing more than an extension of scholastically trained narcissism.

Completing her PhD in 2016, Madlen suffered massive #health issues. She suffered from Hormonal imbalances, hair-loss, anxiety, depression and eating disorders. The unfortunate reality is how common these health symptoms are amongst post-Docs!

Liminal Architecture and WOHA incorporate historic buildings into new theatre in Tasmania

A historic theatre building and the remnants of a 1920s garage are incorporated into a cluster of contemporary glass and metal blocks at this new performance and arts venue in Hobart, Tasmania.

Named The Hedberg after the Hedberg Brothers Garage building that stands on the site, the new centre extends the 180-year-old Theatre Royal with venues, workshop spaces and a new home for the University of Tasmania's Conservatorium of Music.

Local practice Liminal Architecture and Singapore-based WOHA were awarded the project in 2013, with a design that sought to respond to the site's heritage while also creating a contemporary landmark for the city.

As well as directly connecting to the Theatre Royal with a new glazed and fully accessible foyer, the centre incorporates the frontage and walls of the original Hedberg Brothers Garage, which now houses administrative offices.

Externally the new forms contrast these historic structures, clad with a faceted pattern of metal panels that was informed by the act of opening theatrical curtains.

"The fabric of the building externally provides interpretative layers of the past re-presented through a contemporary lens, highlighting the story-telling potential of the building," said Liminal Architecture co-founder Peta Heffernan.

"We wanted The Hedgerg to feel more like a cluster of buildings on the city block, than a huge performing arts building that overwhelms the modest-scale heritage structures," added WOHA co-founder Richard Hassell.

A glass box extends out over the street at the centre's southern corner, creating a triple-height atrium that welcomes visitors, weaving between the existing auditorium of the Theatre Royal and a new 350-seat recital hall.

On the other side of a central planted courtyard sit the studio and back-of-house spaces, with a staircase leading up to rehearsal rooms and studios for Conservatorium of Music students.

Internally, the walls of the original garage are set against concrete, wood and steel finishes. A rehearsal room finished in textured wooden walls informed by minimalist music notation.

The cluster-like arrangement of the buildings blocks has enabled roof terraces to be created at different levels, providing dramatic views across the city.

"As part of the heritage strategy, we used materials that are modern but harmonise with the stucco, sandstone and brick of the historical buildings," said Hassell.

Other recent projects incorporating historic structures into new theatres include the renovation of an industrial building in New York into rehearsal spaces, and the transformation of a historic malt house in Canterbury into the Malt House Theatre.
