The proposal harnesses the slope of the site to centralise connection to Country through water ecologies. Water is allowed to permeate the functionality of spaces; a threshold between land and people.

Built structures are raised above the ground to preserve existing terrain and allow the natural cycles, and in an aspect, encourage notes of Country to shape the land underfoot.

Theatre circulation enables spaces of celebratory exhibition of indigenous works to form. The central rammed earth wall unifies form with country, allowing art to be celebrated as a tenet of the latter.

Water arrives and settles within the site, forming quiet pools that draw people together. The simple, lightweight assembly of the concave-pitched roofing of the building facilitates flows of water, funnelling it inwards towards the yarning and performance spaces.

Vast open & operable stretches of the learning centre create continual connection between spaces of education within the building, and spaces of yarning around water on the ground. Spaces, though functionally separated, still operated in harmony with one another through this consistent sharing of moments.
