Indigenous Representations and Architecture
Mediating Aboriginal Architecture
Brambuk Cultural Centre
Encouraging learning and knowledge exchange between cultural groups
Less specialised to a particular culture
Can be designed with external influences
VAHS (Vic Aboriginal Health Service
More specialised to Indigenous peoples
Healthcare building needs to be designed according to cultural requirements
Less requirement for external influences due to community-driven usage
Aboriginality is not homogenous
Different demographics within
Dated idea of "otherness" as anything other than dominant cultural group
Obsession with defining what is "aboriginality" and what is "authentic"
Non-Indigenous parties need Indigenous parties to discern Aboriginality
Palm Island Riot and representations of Indigenous Australians in Media
Police brutality and deaths in custody vs Rioters
Rhetorical techniques used in media text to serve agenda or impose an opinion
Categorisation: e.g. terrorist vs freedom fighter
List of three: more convincing
Active voicing: using direct quotes for credibility
Concessions: acknowledging counter argument but refuting it
Victim blaming
Buildings became collateral - the power of a people was able to overrun the built environment
Whose voice are we listening to and what changes need to be addressed?
Downplaying the gravity of the root situation and negatively emphasising the resulting issue
Feelings? Questions? What did I learn?
How did this make me feel?
Surprised at the power of language to position people to view something a certain way
Disappointed that media sources seemed to be taking the side of police and officials rather than sympathising with Indigenous people
Questions?
Is there ever a requirement for non-Indigenous input for Indigenous architectural projects?
Police brutality/Aboriginal deaths in custody vs people rioting - which is worse?
What is Aboriginality? What does this question mean to different groups?
What did I learn?
Awareness of how media outlets use techniques to influence their audience
No clear definition or static state of Aboriginality - it can be fluid and complex
Different types of building require different cultural influences depending on purpose and user
Architectural writing
Architecture Australia
Respectful of Indigenous cultural integrity
Reflect Indigenous realities as they are seen by Indigenous people
Truthful in Indigenous content
