Interwoven Energies

For First Nations peoples, Country represents a sacred connection where land, people, and all living beings coexist in a deep, enduring relationship. It is more than a physical space; it is a living entity, embodying ancestral wisdom, identity, and memory. This project envisions architecture as an extension of the Yuin community’s spiritual and ecological bond with their ancestral Country. Using locally sourced rammed earth, it honours the land’s materiality and stories, fostering sensory immersion through natural elements. Rooted in deep listening, it bridges Aboriginal knowledge with sustainable design, creating a space for healing, storytelling, and cultural continuity.
