Lo—TEK: Design by Radical Indigenism

Lo—TEK: Design by Radical Indigenism by Julia Watson invites listeners on a transformative journey through ancestral innovation and Indigenous ingenuity. Challenging the dominance of high-tech solutions to contemporary environmental crises, Watson reveals how Traditional Ecological Knowledge (TEK) offers sustainable, resilient, and regenerative design strategies rooted in symbiosis with nature.

In this groundbreaking work, Watson introduces “Lo—TEK” systems—living technologies developed by Indigenous cultures around the world, from War Khasis root-bridge architecture in India to Balinese subak irrigation networks. Through vivid storytelling, detailed case studies, and a decolonial design perspective, she brings to life an alternative urbanism that centers community, ecology, and cultural continuity.

This audiobook is a call to reawaken ancient wisdom and rethink our relationship to the land. With insight, reverence, and urgency, Watson positions Radical Indigenism not as nostalgia, but as a necessary design revolution for the future of our planet.

Ideal for architects, designers, urbanists, environmentalists, and anyone passionate about sustainability and cultural preservation, Lo—TEK is both a celebration of Indigenous knowledge and a blueprint for a more equitable, climate-resilient world.
