Built to last: How does a house with no nails and no walls stand the test of time?

Home is more than four walls and a roof, it's what happens inside that makes it special.All across the Pacific you see sophisticated designs that reflect cultural protocols and family structures.We've even got our own master builders and architects who hold the knowledge of these ancient construction industries.But slowly they're being replaced by cheaper materials and imported designs. It's a conundrum that requires the best of past practices and modern methods to make sure homes across the Pacific can survive the changing environment and family needs across the islands.You'll hear from Fijian archaeologist Dr Tarisi Vunidilo and Samoan architect Pesetā Fa'amatuainu To'oto'oolea'ava Lama Tone about the past, present and future of housing in the Pacific.Culture Compass was produced by Deadset Studios for ABC Radio Australia. This edition of Culture Compass was a repeat of the program broadcast on 10th October 2023
