Australia

The Australian Institute of Architects presents Home, an ambitious project embodying the relational strength of Indigenous knowledge systems, cultural practices and design. The project provokes audiences to reflect on their connection to homes, homelands, and the care for all places we inhabit. A home is more than a place; it is a site of belonging, memory, and relationships—a way of showing respect, fostering connection and creating safety. For First Nations peoples, home is Country—living landscapes, waterscapes, skyscapes and communities, both human and non-human, intertwined with lore, language, memory, and ancestral beliefs. Country is a living being, deserving of care and responsibility.
