Incorporating Indigenous symbols into the design process
Our education team has been developing a new school campus master plan, from Prep to Grade 12. A key part of the design brief focussed on the project giving back to the land where it was located. The site is rich in Indigenous history, and we felt that the symbolism relating to adult and child relationships within their culture should be incorporated into the design. We interviewed the design team to understand how the Indigenous symbols were used in the design process to highlight the importance of a meeting place and the journey taken throughout childhood.
