- W122270387 abstract "In the 1860s, William Coote (1822–98) argued for an architecture that was specific to the climatic requirements of the region. Seeking to enhance the comfort and salubrity of the Queensland house, Coote suggested strategies for increased ventilation, improved shade and better sanitation. His goal was to remove the “inmate” of the Queensland house from the climatic conditions (heat, humidity and contaminated atmosphere) that had come to be associated with disease, enervation, and degeneration in the world’s [sub]tropical regions. Equating the Queensland house with the “low dark wooden shanty”, Coote also linked the climatic improvement of such spaces with the elevation of the Queensland population, as aiding the intellectual and moral advancement of the colony. Central to Coote’s thesis was the incorporation of taste and refinement into his project of climatic building; the necessity to generate spaces that were not only comfortable but also enjoyable and delightful. In this paper it is argued that Coote’s thesis demonstrates a lingering anxiety in nineteenth century Queensland that linked the moral and intellectual character of the Queensland citizen to climatic influences. It also questioned the continuing settlement of Queensland and the ability of settler communities to acclimatise or move north of the 28th parallel. This anxiety, it is suggested, reveals itself not only in Coote’s attempt to remove the individual from the climatic conditions (heat and humidity) that had come to be associated with disease and discomfort within the tropics but also his desire to minimize those qualities of modern life, such as indulgent living, that enhanced the individual’s susceptibility to climatic influence. Fundamental to this debate was a series of concerns surrounding the settler’s acclimatisation to the [sub]tropics, the decline that was felt to accompany this process, and an assumed loss of the characteristics that were believed to distinguish white people from other races." @default.
