Maximize natural advantages and avoid

Located in Casuarina, a suburd in Darwin, the Northern Territory, Nungalinya College is a college for adult education and a combined churches trainning for indigenious Australians. The design includes new accommodations for teachers and students, a circulation on site, and communal space design. Essential considerations are tropical climate, indigenous culture and spatial quality. Contrast between dry and wet seasons requires high stability of structure and special form of the building. Avoidance rules, generating from complex kinship, relations among tribes and gender separation, inspire me to apply intimacy gradient principle and design spaces with high flexiblity. Circulation and communal space design provide complementary servant and served spaces, while adding multiple cultural layers to the project.
