Architect Embraces Indigenous Worldview in Australian Designs

Jefa Greenaway is a leading proponent of “Country-centered design,” which calls for collaboration with Indigenous communities and puts sustainability concerns at a project’s core.

Mr. Greenaway tested his design ideas: Ngarara Place, at the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology.

What one notices first is the small scale. Ngarara Place is made of a segmented garden bed with native plants, each section representing one of the six or seven seasons observed by the Kulin Nations, the Aboriginal people who inhabited the area. It also has a fire pit for smoking ceremonies, a timbered amphitheater and an installation of contemporary Indigenous art.
