Valuing “Under the House”: Women’s Knowledge and the Architectural History of the Stumped Queensland House
The paper offers a gendered reading of the uses of “under the house” in the raised Queensland house and in contrast to emphasised material and climatic narratives, highlights the value women placed on the everyday use of interstitial housing space under the Queensland house “between the stumps” and beneath the floorboards. There is emphasis on the socio-cultural importance women placed on these informal housing spaces for domestic activities. The paper draws on Australian textual records, re-considers women’s occupation and the implications of this as a rereading of Queensland’s “vernacular” architecture.

Pathways for optimal provision of thermal comfort and sustainability of residential housing in hot and humid tropics of Australia – A critical review
This critical review discusses existing design practices for housing and subdivisions in the hot and humid tropics with particular reference to the city of Darwin in the Northern Territory. The review discusses several research issues and gaps that have been identified and assesses how air speed, air temperature and humidity play a key role in housing and subdivision design consideration in the hot and humid tropics. The review aims to shed light on the inadequacy of the current residential energy rating methodology and proposes a new direction for future research to ameliorate these issues for the tropics.
