The past, present, and future of a place submerge us. It is all enticing.

Despite this we forget. We live, breath, and laugh in the realm of everyday life.

We live in a shallow future, the future of grocery shopping and evening commutes.

What if we re-discover our surroundings.

Re-establish a connection to the land.

It is a connection that the indigenous people of the world have preserved.

In Australia, the aboriginals refer to ‘country’.

I understanding country to be a metaphor for the land, for home, the wind.

Country holds the past, present, and future.

This project will explore an envisioned future in 2027 Learning from the rich culture of the Dja dja warrung.

I found the lecture with Rodney Carter incredibility rich as he described how the Dja dja warrung community has come together to work with the system to improve awareness and empower the community and culture.

The Dja dja warrung country plan is an example of a powerful voice of a community. Clearly stating focus areas to be addressed for a sustainable future for the community and beyond.

STUDIO TALK: JEFA GREENAWAY

THE FIELD - AN UTOPIAN POST-COLONIAL FUTURE, VICTORIA, AUSTRALIA, 2027

Jefa Greenaway raised an interesting conversation about current social movements such as ‘Black lives matter” and an increased interest and awareness of the impact and implications of colonisation.

He he utters an important quote from the Indigenous place making council.

“If nothing of your culture, history, language or art is visible in the streets, parks and buildings where you live, how can you ever feel welcome there?”

It highlights the importance of connection to a place or a sense of community , identity and belonging.

I enjoyed the fresh view on heritage as he posted the question “WHO’S HERITAGE IS BEING PROTECTED?” There’s an array of Australian heritage organizations but how many of them are addressing aboriginal heritage. It seems that we are predominately protecting the heritage of colonialism. Are we glorifying the past. Creating a false narrative of heroism?

Both Greenaway and Carter has a strong empathies on heritage. In addition they are both strong advocates for the living aboriginal culture.

They are advocating for visibility, awareness recognition and understanding.

The international indigenous design charter focuses on this aspect of design. It is a guide for approaching aboriginal projects in a sensitive and inclusive manner.

MSD - SEMESTER 2 2020

“IF THE CULTURE OF ABORIGINAL SOCIETY IS NOT GIVEN SUFFICIENT CREDENCE, IT IS EASY TO MISINTERPRET THE ACHIEVEMENTS.” (p. 178)

Bruce Pascoe’s book Dark emu highlight the complex society of aboriginal people prior to the arrival of the European explorers.

His factual approach find a voice through journal entries from European explorers. Disregarding the culture along with its people.

Dark Emu was is an important book to get an understanding of what the aboriginal culture and society looked like before colonisation.

Bruce Pascoe highlights the significance of the culture. I found the book very inspiring and the ethos of this book will be carried out though the project.

STUDIO READING: DARK EMU

THE FIELD - AN UTOPIAN POST-COLONIAL FUTURE, VICTORIA, AUSTRALIA, 2027

“ONE OF THE GREATEST DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE CULTURE OF ABORIGINAL AUSTRALIA AND THAT OF MAINSTREAM AUSTRALIA IS THE CONCEPT OF LAND” (p. 198)

BRUCE PASCOE

MSD - SEMESTER 2 2020

SUMMARY FROM THE FIRST CHAPTER OF DARK EMU:

Dark Emu’s first chapter, Agriculture, highlights the pre-existing presumptions of the first Europeans and their relationship to the aboriginal Australians. Following a range of different diaries, notes, and sketches the chapter walks us through misconceptions, neglect, and unintentional and intentional destruction of the land.

The Europeans classified five stages of development of agriculture: “selection of seed, preparation of the soil, harvesting of the crop, storage of the surpluses, and erecting permanent housing for large populations” (Pascoe, 2016, p. 13).

The chapter aims to highlight the complexity of the history of the land and the methods used by the aboriginals to harvest, maintain, and work with and for the land. The way the aboriginals treated the land and their approach to agriculture was a lifestyle, it’s approached with patience and respect to the environment and the natural development of the landscape. The western mentality is very different, being result driven, and forceful in comparison to the approach of the aboriginal Australians.

Explorer Captain Charles Sturt (1795-1869) describes the devastating heat of the Australian landscape in 1845, he described great social and economic achievements of the aboriginals in such a harsh climate. He marvelled at what he described as endless stubble fields, in a landscape like the ploughed land described by William Howitt, and Major Thomas Mitchell. Showing the landscape where the yam daisies once where widespread, but now harvested.

CHAPTER 1

ABORIGINAL AGRICULTURE

MSD - SEMESTER 2 2020

SUMMARY FROM THE SECOND CHAPTER OF DARK EMU:

Chapter 2, Aquaculture, has a slightly different approach, though the negative presumptions and the forceful nature of the Europeans remain a central part of the misconceptions and unfortunate outcome of the development of both agriculture and aquaculture in modern Australia. The chapter walks us through a range of different, and very sophisticated fishing methods observed by the European explorers. Though the methods were recognized as efficient and “of the finest craftsmanship� (p. 70). They were not further studied nor attempted to be preserved by the explorers. Some failed to recognise the complexity of these methods all together, describing the method as lazy rather than refined, innovative and fit for purpose (p. 7).

The chapter highlights several large scaled fishing-operations. The Brewarrina fish traps being one of them (72). There are uncertainties around the time of its creation, but it ranks among some of the earliest man-made constructions, if not the first of them all (75). The sophisticated method is very efficient in its aim but is also sensitive to the environment and protective of the economic and social organisation of future generations and the development and perseverance of the method. Unfortunately, this method was slowly destroyed as the aboriginals were forced to adapt and compromise to share the resources of the river with the European settlers.

CHAPTER 2 ABORIGINAL AQUACULTURE

MSD - SEMESTER 2 2020

The initial studio talks and readings introduced us to the site and history of the area Dark Emu walked us through the transition - or walked us through the transition as we know it. With the historical evidence we have access to.

I nevertheless thought it important to reflect upon the changing focus areas through Australian history.

From the original dream time towards the era of aboriginal agriculture - the dream time stories were still central, and still are today.

Then from the colonial era until today. With a focus on ownership and mass production. As Bruce Pascoe pointed out - it’s the concept of land that is completely different.

The approach and attitude towards the land.

This project aims to challenge this attitude though a sustainable approach, touching the ground lightly.

Both figuratively and literally.

2027 A SUSTAINABLE APPROACH TO THE LAND. ACHIEVED

BY LEARNING FROM ABORIGINAL HERITAGE AND CULTURE.

The studio aim so explore alternatives modes of approaching the site and the land. To develop sustainable and conscious designs suitable for a post-colonial future.

We aim to develop this project as a development that will take place in 2027.

As this is a short term utopia I will aim to empower and spread awareness of the Dja dja warrung clan and the Kulin nation. The custodians of central Victoria.

The seasons are central in aboriginal culture. This is the Wombat forest calendar, traditionally used by the Dja Dja Warrung. The six seasons are directed by seasonal happenings - guiding us thought the year. It is an essential part of understanding the land and how to take care of and take advantage of the seasonal landscape.

This abstracted map is therefore crucial to gain an understanding of the past, present, and future of this land.

The map include notes from European explorers, areas of cultural significance, location of sacred trees, description of landscape and the location of the first aboriginal protectorate.

The site or more specifically the ‘macro site’ holds the history of the area. Illustrating fragments of the cultural significance of the land. There are also glimpses of the hardship experienced by the Dja Dja Warrung in the aftermath of colonisation.

MSD - SEMESTER 2 2020

EXISTING SITE

As the masterplan developed, so did the programme. We decided to create an educational walking path through the site, along with the agricultural approach. We created the memory trail as an educational path that would walk you through the past, present and future of the Jaara people. Starting with a smoking ceremony to acknowledge the ancestors and pay respect to the land, water, and sea of the country.

Following the trail through the forest you will learn about the dreamtime as well as the local history of the Dja Dja Warrung, The trail gives you an insight into the cultural practices and heritage of the Dja dja wurrung clan. Told by members of the Dja dja warrung community.

The natural landscape is the main contributor to this storytelling as we are taking advantage of the natural contrasts found in nature.

MSD - SEMESTER 2 2020

This approach to bio-diversity is a combination of approach 3, 5, 8, and 9.

The landscape is zones, directed by the gradient of the landscape (approach 8) and local micro climates are created within each zone (approach 5 and 9). The forest area will be extended in a similar manner to apprach 3.

Each zone will have indigenous plants that are suitable fo the microclimate.

The red areas will have plants suitable for wetlands as the area is prone to drout. Slightly dryer areas like the yellow zone will focus on chocolate lilies and saltbush. Scrub like vegetation will grow along the forest, but also in different zones to allow for micro climates.

There will be a focus on kangaroo grass, the indigenous plant used to grow wild in the area and are highly benefitial for the soil quality.

The diagram shows the initial indigenous plants that are intended to be planted on site.

Reintroducing a diverse landscape will cultivate breading ground for bio-diversity.

Shading, natural shelter, and an expanded steam, will provide great support for local animals - kangaroo, copperhead snake, termintes, murray cod, and cockatoo to name a few.

THE FIREPLACE Storytelling and group discussions Amphitheatre

The memory trail was developed further and we looked at the different moments within the trail and the stories we intended for them to tell.

We therefore decided on five different approaches on how to these stories would be communicated.

We decided to utilise metaphors to indicate a variety of interaction points along the site. The fireplace, waterhole, stream, field, mountain top, and cave - are symbolic for places of individual reflection, places for public speaking and storytelling.

THE STREAM Highway for moving and place to camp along Pavilions with farming ad eaching tools

These different approaches will also direct the approach of the design - creating the story along the path.

Then crossing the stream -’the waterhole’ - for informal interactions and the story of the two mountains - part of the creation story.

The central fireplace will be off the beaten path of the memory trail and become the ‘amphitheatre for storytelling and group interaction.

The atmpsohere is intended to be mystical, trigger curiosity and exploration, both for people and animals.

The trail will be explored further in the next few weeks, entering the sphere of the field.

My initial intention was for the path to extend and simultaneously form a structure that would hold an exhibition, gallery space, or visitor centre. I explored different curved forms, embedded in the landscape whilst using the typography of the site. I wanted to continue to use the fireplace as a central gathering space and proceeded to allow for the structure to wrap around the fireplace.

You can walk on the roof whilst the gallery spaces sit underneath forming another programme. This has been developed further on the next page.

ENTRY POINT

Further development of the initial scheme made me realise that the contours on the site were not steep enough to create the effect that I wanted to achieve.

The building needed to be almost 100 metres to me naturally embedded in the landscape. I wanted to avoid forcing the embedded effect and started exploring different approaches. Keeping the fireplace as a focal point.

This is when I started playing around with the outdoor gallery wall, seen on the south side of drawing nr. 2 and 3.

The last drawing shows the fireplace embedded in the structure, an idea derived from the ‘Resting place’ project by Taylor & Hinds architects. (see next page for project).

HOW CAN A PERFORMANCE BECOME ACCESSIBLE TO EVERYONE?

WHAT IS THEN NEEDED FOR A GALLERY?

The line project became an inspiration as it questions what a performance space is, what it needs and who it is for.

The same goes for the proposed core gallery in this project.

The gallery is inverted, but the essence of a gallery space remain. The canvas - the core.

The core gallery removed the boundary between outside and inside. It is a display of public art that tells a specific story in time.

The main difference in terms of site development is the approach towards the stream/brook.

It has been reduced to it’s original size. Measures will be taken to guide the water in to benefit the native plants on site.

The focus is no longer on the memory trail itself, but the journey towards the artist in residence programme that takes place central on site. See diagram on the right.

The project was originally called the memory project. This has now been changed to the listening project.

The main focus was originally on storytelling and remembering the past, and present through the memory trail.

This has now shifted towards an artist in residence programme for local aboriginal artists.

Their artwork is displaced throughout the site - telling the stories of their families and culture.

This is why the project is not called the listening project.

The public comes to the project and the core gallery to listen, the artists are there to express and together there is reflection.

THE LISTENING PROJECT WEEK 10 REFLECTIONS

THE FIELD - AN UTOPIAN POST-COLONIAL FUTURE, VICTORIA, AUSTRALIA, 2027

The week 10 review gave some interesting feedback and food for thought.

Michael Spooner’s idea of incorporating the core gallery into the remaining buildings by blurring the programmatic ‘tindyness’ was particularly helpful.

I also got suggestions on breaking up the building a little bit as it can come across as somewhat rigid - to bring some playfulness back into the structures.

I’ve decided to play around with these ideas, starting with the artist studio which will be explored on the next page.

MSD - SEMESTER 2 2020

I started working on the core gallery and experimenting with the rammed earth walls. Pushing the boundary between inside and outside further. Extending the gallery both across the site and within the existing structures.

The kitchen area is now an outdoor space covered, but not enclosed. The eating area is now an enclosed gathering space - the only enclosed public space in the project.

The artist in residence accommodation has been transformed into a robust and safe rammed earth structure.

The biggest change is the shared studio space. It has now been divided into four different spaces, rather than one larger one. There will be further reflections on this on the next page.

After having discussed with Rochus I decided that this approach was not suitable as it divides the artists completely into different studio spaces. A flexible, yet shared approach might therefore be more suitable. A combination of this approach and the week 10 approach will be tested.

This approach allows for a shared studio space, though holds different structures for a variety of needs.

3

The larger studio space will be suitable for artwork done in teams and well as sculpture work such as wood carving.

There is an outdoor kitchen to create fabric dye. And smaller workshops for reflection and independent work. Quiet zones for when that is needed.

The three artist studios will be used

FURTHER SITE DEVELOPMENT Forest to be extended, scrub and grasslands to be maintained with indigenous plants.

The landscape is intended to become a part of the project in the sense that it becomes a resource for the artists. Growing crop and materials that can be incorporated into the artwork. Indicating the kind of art that can be produced on site. This will also change over time along with the re-wilding and recultivation strategy.
