PART 1: RESEARCH TOPIC

Explore the architectural history of Cherbourg administration domain through digital reconstruction. Cherbourg-Barambah Aboriginal Settlement Cherbourg, original known as Barambah, is a relatively large Aboriginal community in the Southeast Queensland, located approximately 280km from Brisbane (Besley 2013). It was initially founded in 1899 on the traditional land of WakkaWakka tribe by the Salvation Army missionary William J. Thomson (Blake 2001). Not long after that, it was taken over by the Queensland Government, and became one of the first few Aboriginal settlements created under the Aboriginals Protection and Restriction of Sale of Opium Act 1897 (Qld). The settlement was established to forcibly relocate the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Australian from all many parts of Queensland and New South Wales. The settlement begun with approximately 140 Aboriginal people in 1904, and steadily increased ever since (Guthrie 1976). Development Patterns The settlement was initially divided into two main domains: The Aboriginal domain, where most Aboriginal families lived, and the administration domain, which was operated under the supervision of the superintendent, with the help of several white officials (Blake 2001). Many Elders recalled the early living conditions in the settlement being challenging. The Aboriginal people activities and resources were tightly controlled by the settlement officials. Permits were required to leave the reserve or even to get married. Furthermore, cultural expression was heavily restricted within the settlement. Punishments were given out regularly to those who misbehaved, and the punishments could range from a few days in goal to being relocated to other Aboriginal settlement (Mok 2005, Besley 2013). This resulted Cherbourg to suffer in a continuing loss of their cultural identity, and erosion of their traditional values.

ARCH7052: Architectural Research Thesis

Research Question Despite the negative experience endured by the community, the settlement’s value as a place with its social and cultural history are remained highly valued by many in the current community and the Aboriginal people with connections to Cherbourg. Both domains had undergone significant changes over the years. However, this research will only be focusing on the administration domain. Currently, the Cherbourg administration domain (also known as Cherbourg historical precinct) encompasses a collection of historical buildings. Some of which are in their original location. These include the superintendent’s office, boys’ dormitory, and the domestic science building. Several historical buildings from the settlement were also relocated to the precinct. These buildings include the old ration shed and Country Women Association’s hall. Given this context, the thesis aims to explore the architecture history of the Cherbourg’s administration domain through digital reconstruction. The project will utilise existing information, archival documents, and other iconographic sources to analyse the transformation of the administration domain. The report will also touch on the potential of virtual reconstruction, and how this technology could be integrated into a museum setting.

PART 2.1: METHODOLOGY

Explore the architectural history of Cherbourg administration domain through digital reconstruction. Methodology The project incorporated various data collecting and 3D modelling techniques, structuring them into a coherent workflow. The project was developed in several stages. It began with gathering all historical information regarding the settlement to further understand the community in the present day. The character of the community was very much shaped by the history of the settlement. The next phase mainly revolved around the extraction of information from the point cloud files provide by Dr. Kelly Greenop, and digitally reconstructed a detailed 3D model of Cherbourg’s historical precinct. The surveyed drawings produced by Dr. Timothy O’Rourke and his team were also used in the process of reconstructing the digital model as the 3D scanned data extracted could only produce ‘fuzzy’ structure. The digital model produced was largely based upon the point cloud data captured in 2018. This model formed the base support for the following stages regarding space-time iconography referencing.

RESEARCH

CHERBOURG’S HERITAGE PRECINCT

The following stage of the project examined the historical significance of buildings at the administration domain as well as the historical buildings that were relocated to the site later on. Literature references, such as Blake’s A Dumping Ground, and Besley’s On the banks of the Barambah along with the correspondence files retrieved from the Queensland State Archives were utilised to examine the changes of the administration domain throughout the years. These resources were then used to extrapolate a timeline of these changes. PART B.1

PART B.2

Other iconography sources, such as historical photographs and video clips were also referred to in order to provide a more comprehensive details on the visual appearance of each building. In addition, these resources also offered geometric data related to the shape of the disappeared buildings, such as the girls’ dormitory and the mothers’ quarter. Nonetheless, the historical photographs could only provide limited information of certain aspect of the buildings. Most photographs are in black and white format. Some images are even presented in significant deterioration. The next stage of the reconstruction process involved the production of digital mock-ups for each administration domain phase. These digital models were presented to the invited guests in the scheduled workshops. A critical revision of the models was later made to produce more accurate digital models. The final phase of the project included the discussion on the potential of these virtual models, and how it could be integrated as part of the exhibition of the Ration Shed Museum or potentially used for Cherbourg’s touristic development in the future.

PART 3.1: ORIGINAL BUILDINGS

Explore the architectural history of Cherbourg administration domain through digital reconstruction. Superintendent’s office The superintendent’s office is one of the few remaining buildings on the settlement. It was constructed at the centre of the settlement in 1926 (The Cherbourg Memory n.d.). This was the place where the superintendent exercised his authority, and the Aboriginal people applied for permits to leave the reserves. Many Elders recalled the superintendent’s office being one of the places that most Aboriginal people were afraid to visit. They were often summoned by the superintendent in the office. 1

2 Dormitory system. The Cherbourg’s dormitory system was established soon after the government inception. It was an integral part of Cherbourg. Under the Reformatory Schools Act, Aboriginal children, who were deemed to be neglected, were forcibly sent to the dormitories (Besley 2013). The dormitory system was put in place to care for these ‘abandoned’ children. However, in retrospect, this had contributed to the social deconstruction of the Indigenous group in Cherbourg. Many Elders also recalled the life in the dormitories as harsh and institutional (Mok 2005).

Despite several reports claimed that the dormitory life was inhumane, the dormitory system kept going until the 1980s. The girls’ dormitory and the mothers’ quarter were closed in 1980s, and followed by the boys’ dormitory in 1982.

Boys’ dormitory The boy’s dormitory was constructed in 1928. The dormitory housed many young men, who were trained as manual labour. The boys’ dormitory was closed in the late 1980s, and reopened as the Beemar Yumba Children’s hostel in 1984 (The Cherbourg Memory n.d.). The hostel then operated until 2005. In 2009, the dormitory became part of the Cherbourg’s historical precinct. 2A

Mothers’ quarters The mothers’ quarters was constructed for mothers with babies. The mothers were allowed to leave the quarters temporarily to visit the hospital, or to visit relatives in the main camp (The Cherbourg Memory n.d.). The mothers’ quarters was closed and demolished in 1980. 2B

Girls dormitory The girls’ dormitory was built in 1925 (Blake 2001). It was the most prominent building on the settlement. The dormitory building replaced the existing dormitories that housed many Aboriginal children since the beginning of the settlement . The girls’ dormitory was eventually closed in the 1980s (Besley 2013). The building was then converted into a temporary accommodation for the local community until it was destroyed in a fire in 1997. 2C

Domestic science building The domestic science building was constructed in 1941. The aboriginal girls were trained in servicing white people’s homes. The girls were later sent to work on farming properties in the central and western Queensland (Blake 2001). 3

PART 3.2: RELOCATED BUILDINGS

Explore the architectural history of Cherbourg administration domain through digital reconstruction. Ration shed The old ration shed was built in 1928, where the aboriginal people received rations in exchange for labour undertaken within the reserved. By the time, the Aboriginal people’s diets had completely changed, and were heavily relied on processed foods and sugars, instead of natural bush tucker, which the people ate for years (Blake 2001). 4

Pottery house The pottery house was relocated to Cherbourg’s historical precinct in late 2018. Based on the physical attributes of the house, it is apparent that it was built around the same period as the girls’ dormitory. Both buildings share several similar features in term of their construction, for instance, the vertical VJ lining board in their building construction. 5

6

Yidding Artist Studio The CWA (Country Women Association) hall is another historical building which has become part of the Cherbourg’s Historical Precinct (The Cherbourg Memory n.d.). In 2014, the Cherbourg Aboriginal Shire council acquired the old hall to be relocated to the precinct. The council planned to repurpose the hall as a studio, and gallery space for Yidding Artists group. According to the Aunty Sandra Morgan, the old hall was initially located at the Jack O’Chin’s oval. The CWA shed used to be a school for the non-Indigenous children in the community, according to the museum curator, Mr. Mark Newman. C6

PART 4.1: HISTORICAL TIMELINE

Explore the architectural history of Cherbourg administration domain through digital reconstruction. Architectural Changes Based on the information gathered, the buildings at the administration domain had undergone multiple changes since their initial construction. The 2D representations below provide a visual chronological record of these changes on the buildings. These representations are heavily based on the descriptions from literatures, architectural drawings, and other corresponding files.

PART 4.2.1: SUPERINTENDENT’S OFFICE

Explore the architectural history of Cherbourg administration domain through digital reconstruction. Exposed verandah The superintendent’s office was built in 1925. Therefore, it does share many similar physical attributes with other administrative buildings. According to figure 4.2.1.1., the office was surrounded by exposed veranda. The stumps were equally spaced along the veranda, and only located underneath the loadbearing structures. A

Single skin wall structure According to historical photographs (refer to Figure 4.2.1.1. & Figure 4.2.1.2.), the walls of the superintendent’s office were predominantly made up of single-skin VJ walls, which were commonly used during the early 1900s (Jenner 2013). B

PART 4.2.1: SUPERINTENENT’S OFFICE (CONT.)

Explore the architectural history of Cherbourg administration domain through digital reconstruction. Closed verandah It can be clearly seen that the superintendent’s office’s veranda was fully enclosed in the Hilda Secombe’s private collection (refer to figure 4.2.1.5.). This was probably to accommodate extra clerical staffs at that period. A

This information is confirmed by the Cherbourg Memory website, as it states that the superintendent’s office was extended in the 1970s (refer to figure 4.2.1.8). A post office also was later established, in a separate area away from the main administration office (Cherbourg Memory, n.d.).

Building extension According to Dr. Kelly Greenop’s 3D scanned files, there is a discrepancy regarding the subfloor layout of the superintendent’s office. As shown in figure 4.2.1.7, there is a distinct difference between the layout of the floor joist, which indicates that the superintendent’s office might had undergone extension. B

Explore the architectural history of Cherbourg administration domain through digital reconstruction. Window replacement According to the video clips shown in the Ration Shed DVDs, the window type along the veranda was clearly different compared to Figure 4.2.2.7. Therefore, it is assumed that the original windows were replaced around 1990s. Perhaps, a follow-up interview with the residents could help to clear up this ambiguity. A

Restoration to original state The Ration Shed Museum committees aim to restore the superintendent’s office to its original state. The film shows that the veranda panels were removed along with the windows (Ration Shed Museum 2009). Part of the superintendent office also was later converted into a retail store, and the café area is connected to the ration shed. B

PART 4.2.2: RATION SHED MUSEUM

Explore the architectural history of Cherbourg administration domain through digital reconstruction. Reconstruction process The virtual model of the ration shed is developed based on the 3D point cloud files provided by Dr. Kelly Greenop. Architectural drawings, films, and other personal recollections are also used to analyse the modifications made to the Ration Shed.

Additional platforms In Figure 4.2.2.5., it is evident that additional platforms were added at both side of the ration shed to accommodate the increasing number of visitors (Ration Shed Museum, 2009). B

Additional concrete ramp In 2008, the old timber ramp was replaced with a concrete ramp (refer to Figure 4.2.2.8.). In addition to that, the platform was also extended to be connected to the superintendent’s office. C

Relocate the ration shed. According Aunty Sandra Morgan, the chairwoman of the Ration Shed Museum, the old Ration Shed was originally located at the Jack O’Chin Oval. It was restored in 2004, and placed next to the superintendent’s office. A

PART 4.2.3: BOYS’ DORMITORY

Explore the architectural history of Cherbourg administration domain through digital reconstruction. Spatial organisation Figure 4.2.3.3. and figure 4.2.3.4. reveal that the boys’ dormitory was surrounded by exposed veranda at each building side. Small rooms were located at each building corner as an attempt to monitor the Aboriginal boys’ behaviour. The interior space of the dormitory was vaguely mentioned in the correspondence files as it was constantly renovated for different purposes. For example, in the correspondence files dated in 1945, part of the boys’ dormitory was fitted to cater for school purposes. A

Boiler room / Kitchen area The kitchen area was located at the back of the house. During the site visit, Aunty Sandra Morgan, the chairwoman of the Ration Shed Museum, pointed out that the kitchen was connected to the boys’ dormitory with a platform (refer to figure 4.2.3.5.). B

Explore the architectural history of Cherbourg administration domain through digital reconstruction. Enclosed veranda A photograph of the boys’ dormitory in Hilda Secombe’s private collection shows that the side verandas were fully enclosed (refer to Figure 4.2.3.7.). This modification was presumably made around the 1950s to provide additional space for the Aboriginal boys. A

Boiler room destroyed According to the fire department’s report, the boiler room located at the rear of the boys’ dormitory was almost destroyed by the fire in 1973 (Department of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Partnerships 1989). However, many Elders recalled that the boiler room was later demolished rather than being completely destroyed by the fire. C

Buidling extension During the interview with Aunty Winne Dalton, she recalled that Mr. Jack O’Chin extended part of the boys’ dormitory as accommodation for his family while staying in the dormitory during the 1960s. Figure 4.2.3.8. also shows parts of the front veranda that were enclosed. B

PART 4.2.3: BOYS’ DORMITORY (CONT.)

Explore the architectural history of Cherbourg administration domain through digital reconstruction. Renovated as emergency hostel As the dormitory system slowly phased out, the boys’ dormitory was forced to close in the late 1980s (Besley 2013). The dormitory was later reopened as Beemar Yumba Aboriginal Children’s Hostel (The Cherbourg Memory n.d.). It was a residential care service to the Aboriginal children within the Cherbourg community. A drafted floor plan of the hostel is also attached in the correspondence file and the physical attributes of the hostel are identified in Figure 4.2.3.12. According to the Cherbourg memory website, the hostel only operated until 2005. A

Renovated as museum In 2009, the boys’ dormitory was acquired by the Ration Shed Museum to be part of the Cherbourg’s historical precinct. The dormitory was then refurbished into its original state. B

PART 4.2.6: MOTHER’S QUARTERS

Explore the architectural history of Cherbourg administration domain through digital reconstruction. Exposed verandah The mothers’ quarters was built to accommodate the single mothers with babies. As the mothers’ quarter was built around the same period as other institutional buildings within the domain, they all shared many similar physical attributes. One of the main features of these buildings was the exposed veranda, which was located at the east elevation of the building. (refer to figure 4.2.6.1.). A

6 foot-high barbed wire fence Refer to Figure 4.2.6.1., a six-foot high barbed wire fences were erected around both the girls’ dormitory and the mothers’ quarter in the late 1930s. This was to separate the Aboriginal women from the main camp. B

PART 4.2.6: MOTHER’S QUARTER (CONT.)

Explore the architectural history of Cherbourg administration domain through digital reconstruction. Closed verandah It is clearly seen in Figure 4.6.2.7. and Figure 4.6.2.8. that the veranda was fully enclosed around the 1960s. This was probably due to several occasions where the men were reported breaking into the girls’ dormitory. The closed veranda could also provide privacy for the single mothers and the babies. A followup interview with Aunty Eva Collins, the matron for the mothers’ quarter could potentially help to clear up this ambiguity. A

Floor plans The reconstruction process of the mothers’ quarter was encountered with some difficulties. One of them was due to lack of information available regarding the interior space of the mothers’ quarter. During the interview with Aunty Winnie Dalton, who previously stayed in the mothers’ quarter, she managed to provide some insightful information regarding the floor layout of the building. The matron office was located at the front, whereas the kitchen area and the bathrooms were located at the back of the mothers’ quarter (refer to Figure 4.2.6.9.). B

Virtual reconstruction process Due to the mechanical difficulties on site, Zeb1 handheld laser scanner could only scan part of the domestic science building. Furthermore, insufficient amount of information available for domestic science building also caused several issues during the process of creating the digital mock-ups of the building.

Physical attributes The domestic science building was constructed in 1941. Thus, it shares multiple similar physical features with the surrounding buildings. The physical attributes of the domestic science building are identified in Figure 4.2.7.1. A

PART 4.2.8: GIRLS’ DORMITORY

Explore the architectural history of Cherbourg administration domain through digital reconstruction. Reconstruction process The initial digital reconstruction approach for the girls’ dormitory was developed based on archival drawings produced in 1941. The historical photographs and correspondence files were later utilised as references to document the major building changes throughout the years.

Number of stairways In Figure 4.2.8.1., it is apparent that there was only one stairway at each landing when the dormitory was initially constructed. This information was also mentioned in the correspondence file – memorandum 34/6007. A

White picket fences Figure 4.2.8.3. also indicates that the white picket fence surrounded the girls’ dormitory. It was an attempt to segregate the Aboriginal girls from the main camp. B

Figure 4.2.8.1: Perspective view of the girls’ dormitory shows there is only one stairway at each balcony in 1923.

PART 4.2.8: GIRLS’ DORMITORY (CONT.)

Explore the architectural history of Cherbourg administration domain through digital reconstruction. Additional stairways During late 1930s, two additional stairways were added by the superintendent to minimise congestion in the case of fire. A

Permanent fire escapes In 1941, the idea of installing permanent fire escapes around the dormitory came to light in the wake of a disastrous fire occurred at Gommeri, which destroyed the Royal Hotel. According to the correspondence file, the matron also previously mentioned that the existent stairways could potentially pose as obstacles in the case of emergency as they were locked against the exits during the night. In addition, a patrol then would have to be on guard throughout the night to prevent any intruders from entering the dormitory through the fire escape ladders. B

Lattice partition In 1937, the girls’ dormitory was separated off midway across the veranda with lattice screens (refer to Figure 4.2.8.6.). According to the correspondence file, this was to keep the big girls from the little girls, as the blankets from the little girls’ sleeping quarters were often got stolen by the older girls. C

Six-foot high barbed wire fences According to Figure 4.2.8.8., a high-tiered barbed wire fence was erected around the girl’s dormitory as an attempt to prevent the Aboriginal girls from escaping. However, in comparison to the earlier photographs, it does not show this fence as being in existence when the dormitory was initially opened in 1928. D

Women goal According to the Cherbourg memory website, the women goal was built in clear view of the girls at the backyard of the girls’ dormitory. The physical attributes of the women goal are identified from Figure 4.2.8.7. E

Recreation shed In Figure 4.2.8.5., the recreation shed was placed behind the girl’s dormitory. This is further supported by the correspondence files as they state that the play shed was constructed in 1938 under the supervision of the superintendent. F

PART 4.2.8: GIRLS’ DORMITORY (CONT.)

Explore the architectural history of Cherbourg administration domain through digital reconstruction. Wire meshes & panels There were several reports from the 1950s reveal that there were numerous occasions of men successfully entering the girls’ dormitory despite having the barbed wire fences. Hence, the council suggested to replace the six-foot high barbed wire fence with strong brass wire mesh wrapping around the veranda. Furthermore, the council also recommended the additional lightweight panels to be installed at the top of the fire escape ladder to prevent men from entering the dormitory. A

Stove recess and kitchen The correspondence files retrieved from the Queensland State Archives also indicates that the kitchen was in bad state of repair. This is supported by the photograph captured during the early 1960s, which shows that the kitchen windows were broken, and the back wall was heavily damaged (refer to Figure 4.2.8.13.). However, there was no mention in these files regarding the time when the additional windows were added to the kitchen area. C

Shed Photograph from Hilda Secombe’s collections shows that an additional shed was added next to the girls’ dormitory during the 1960s (refer to Figure 4.2.8.12.). However, there was not any previous mention about the construction of the shed in the correspondence files. Perhaps, a follow-up interview with the DOMO girls could help to clear up this ambiguity. D

Weatherproof panels As indicated in Figure 4.2.8.12., the balcony on the second floor of the dormitory was fully enclosed. This was probably due to the increasing number of Aboriginal girls in the dormitory system during the 1950s. Many of them were forced to sleep on the floors. This temporary solution was satisfactory except during the wet season. Hence, the council suggested the balconies to be closed off, and weatherproofed. B

PART 4.2.8: GIRLS’ DORMITORY (CONT.)

Explore the architectural history of Cherbourg administration domain through digital reconstruction. Building extension According to Aunty Sandra Morgan and the correspondence file, an extension was made at the front of the building (refer to figure 4.2.8.8.) as a lounge and indoor play area for the small children. A

Restoration to original state The photograph shown in the DOMO girls film reveals that the mesh wires, which wrapped around the veranda, were removed in 1980s, along with the weatherproof panels. B

Short term accomodation The Cherbourg’s dormitory system was slowly phased out in 1970s. As a result, the girls’ dormitory was closed down in the late 1980s. The old dormitory building then was repurposed as a short-term accommodation for the local communities. The correspondence files indicate that the accommodation was unsuccessful, and resulted in many people illegally squatting in the building. C

Burnt down In 1998, the Cherbourg’s girls’ dormitory was burnt down in a fire. D

PART 5: DISCUSSION

Explore the architectural history of Cherbourg administration domain through digital reconstruction. Recommendations With the rapid advancement of 3D modelling software, it allows the recreation of the Cherbourg’s administration domain in a digital workspace. Virtual reconstruction undoubtedly has many advantages and potentials in the field of architecture. These virtual models could be reproduced in many ways. As the project emphasizes on the historical awareness of the community, these reconstructed models could assist other disciplines that are involved in the Cherbourg’s cultural heritage. Furthermore, the scalability of the 3D models has opened doors to many interesting scenarios for the Ration Shed Museum, such as virtual tours, educational video, physical models, smart tourism through Augmented Reality mobile application, and visual browsing system (eg: Nubes platform). All these methods could potentially help users to further understand the changes of the administration domain.

Visualisation and Animation According to museum community, educational videos are more appropriate to the museum setting, as the use of Augmented Reality mobile application has already been implemented in the museum interactive activities. Hence, several animated clips are developed to narrate the different phases of the administration domain. The clips can be viewed in the following link: https://drive.google.com/ open?id=1IEXGJwjTHUe1kSnzefvlfACZ3AZLss9Q.

Figure 5.2: Snapshot of the virtual walkthrough at Cherbourg’s historical precinct. (source: Author, 2019)

Physical model Throughout the project timeframe, a study model of the girls’ dormitory was presented to the DOMO girls to facilitate the interview. The objective of using the study model in the interview is to explore its potential to help the former residents to recall their memories during that period.

Research challenges Nonetheless, there were several challenges encountered throughout the thesis. Although the administration domain was scanned by using the Zeb1 handheld mobile scanner, it could only construct a ‘fuzzy’ point cloud due to technical difficulties on site. Moreover, the Zeb1 handheld mobile scanner also could only produce colourless point cloud files. The insufficient amount of information available for certain buildings caused several issues during the process of creating the digital mock-ups. However, these issues were rectified by presenting the mock-ups to the invited guest, as they were able to provide necessary information to produce more detailed models.

(source: Author, 2019)

At the current stage of the project, it is difficult to estimate the level of accuracy of these reconstructed models, especially for those buildings that no longer exist. The interviews with the local community members have greatly contributed in revising the models, providing useful feedbacks and comments regarding models for the mothers’ quarter and the girls’ dormitory.

PART 6: CONCLUSION

Explore the architectural history of Cherbourg administration domain through digital reconstruction. Conclusion The main objective of the thesis is to investigate the architectural history of the Cherbourg’s administration domain through digital reconstruction. The overall reconstruction process comprises of various compiling, and 3D modelling methods. Furthermore, the spatio-temporal analysis of the administration domain is made possible with extensive use of archival clips, correspondence files, interviews, and other iconography resources gathered from the Ration Shed Museum, Queensland State Archives and John Oxley Library. Acknowledgements The realisation of this work would not be possible without the help from all parties who gave their valuable time, and contribution for completing the work. I hereby would like to express my upmost gratitude to multiple organisations, including the Queensland State Archives, John Oxley Library, and UQ Anthropology Museum for the help in gathering the historical documents; Department of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Partnership, who granted permission to access several restricted records related to the research topic. Special thanks also go to the Ration Shed Museum for their generosity in sharing the historical photographs about the administrative domain. Furthermore, great thanks are due to Dr. Kelly Greenop who acquired the laser scanned data of the historical precinct during the site visit. I would also like to acknowledge all the participants who provide support and guidance in constructing the study model of the girls’ dormitory. Last but not least, I would like to thank my advisor, Dr. Timothy O’Rourke, who has provided assistance throughout the project.

APPENDIX D: INTERVIEW FEEDBACK A) SITE VISIT AND MEETING: Date : 30th October 2018 Time : 10:00am - 12:00pm Location : Ration Shed Museum, Cherbourg Attendees : Aunty Sandra Morgan, Chairwomen of the Ration Shed Museum. : Dr. Timothy O’Rourke, Course Instructor : Mr. Mark Newman, Project manager of the Boys’ Dormitory Project. : Mr. Peter Trail, Designer. : Mr. Wei Win Loy, Research student. Comments : 1920s - 40s a) There isn’t any column in the middle of the passage, which connected the kitchen and dining area. b) The brickwork in stove recess area should be pulled back to where the timber column begins. c) In 1940s, the barbed wire fences were erected around the girls’ dormitory to prevent the girls from running away. : 1950s - 60s a) The participants weren’t able to identify the function of the enclosed balconies. b) Aunty Sandra pointed out that the main doors were solid doors instead of screen doors. : 1970s - 90s a) The extend building structure served as a lounge and indoor play area of smaller children. Notes

: The overall shade for the finished models seem to be too dark for general user. : The surrounding context could be included to add additional site context to the built model. : Woman jail, laundry area and bathroom could be incorporated in the virtual model. : From a non-expert community member’s point of view, perhaps adding furniture could help the users to better visualize the function of each room

APPENDIX D: INTERVIEW FEEDBACK (CONT.) C) SITE VISIT AND MEETING: Date : 8th May 2019 Time : 10:30am - 1:00pm Location : Elders Room - Boys’ Dormitory, Cherbourg Attendees : Aunty Sandra Morgan, Chairwomen of the Ration Shed Museum. : Mr. Mark Newman, Project manager of the Boys’ Dormitory Project. : Ms. Robyn Hofmeyr, Co-ordinator of the Ration Shed Museum. : Mr. Peter Trail, Designer. : Mr. Wei Win Loy, Research student. Comments : Potential of the digital model a) Virtual reality - It would required a play area within 9 metres square to setup for the virtual reality. The Ration Shed Museum comittees think this option would not be feasible due to the space limitation of the boys’ dormitory. In addition, the museum also could not secure a funding to invest in the virtual reality (VR) headset. b) Walkthrough video - Robyn Hofmeyr, the co-ordinator of the Ration Shed Museum suggested a walkthrough video could be useful as the museum had already intergrated Ipad in their museum setting. c) Navigation application (through Apple Ipad) - Mark Newman adds on the walkthough videos could be further developed as part of the navigation app, allowing the museum visitors to nagivate throughout the precinct. Girls’ Dormitory - Physical model - The physical model of the girls’ dormitory has been presented to the committee. However, due to multiple limitations presented, it would not be feasible to incooperate the model into the museum setting. Boys’ Dormitory - boiler room - According to Mr. Peter Trail, the boiler room was connected to the boys’ dormitory instead being a separated building. Domestic science building - building extension - According to Robyn Hofmeyr and Elders from Many Threads group, an additional storage and toilets were added at the back of the domestic science building during the 1960s. The domestic science building was also extended to incorporate additional rooms for other purposes Notes

: Addtional photographs of Cherbourg’s historical precicnt have been taken.
