About Discussions Projects3 Journals5 Competitions1

Kakadu National Park in Australia's Northern Territory represents a unique intersection of ancient Indigenous culture, significant natural systems, and contemporary design challenges. Projects in this topic engage with the park's geological formations, Aboriginal narratives, and the need for thoughtful tourism infrastructure.

The community explores architectural responses to Kakadu's landscape through cultural centers, visitor facilities, and spatial interventions that reference Indigenous geometries and ecological systems. Work here examines how design can honor the site's deep cultural significance while managing public access and environmental stewardship.

Common Ground

Designing something new in an ancient place, where geology, nature, history and tradition are neighbours, is not an easy task and requires a unique approach. The title 'Common Ground' comes from the idea of 'everyone's place'. The word for 'everyone' in the Aboriginal dictionary is 'Rowk' and 'Kunrorre' meaning 'ground'.

BirdWalk - Kakadu National Park Tourism Village

'BirdWalk' is a circular ramp between trees and birds of Kakadu. This walk starts on the Village entry and gets to the top of the trees to have sunset and sunrise views. This is also a 'TimeWalk' since you can read about Australia and its history on your way up. This allows a multipurpose community space in the center for gatherings and creative activities.

The Collectives Commune

The collective commune is space which focuses on the sense of belonging. Questioning my belonging as an immigrant of Australia whilst Australia moves towards Multicultural country/Global Australia. A place of belonging is being represented under one roof that formulates oneness as the indigenous knowing and belonging to land through ancestral Dreaming.
