The Vision
This studio was about conceptualizing the vision of highly respected Kirrae Whurrong Elder, Uncle Leonard Clarke, for a world class cultural and music centre on his family’s land in the Western District of Victoria. The centre will be names ‘The Shara Clarke Aboriginal Cultural & Education Centre’ named after Uncle Lenny’s late daughter Shara Clarke. Uncle Lenny’s vision aims to celebrate aboriginal culture through architectural expression, but also to provide opportunities for his community’s youth through educational programs and job opportunities to help reduce the rate of incarceration of young indigenous peoples.
The space needed to accommodate for a flexible and multipurpose program that considers the culture and history of the Kirrae Whurrong Community and how that can be celebrated through architecture.
