The Connecting with Country Framework is a living document created for the NSW Government Architects. The Framework is a guide to help respond to Country when planning, designing and delivering built environment projects while responding to and preserving Aboriginal cultural heritage. It was informed by engagement with selected stakeholders including an advisory panel of Traditional Owners, representatives from community organisations, and government.
Dr Danièle Hromek was brought on as lead consultant and researcher for the project for her knowledge in spatial design, research and cultural knowledge.
Djinjama also went on to curate the photography for the final Connecting with Country Framework document.
Djinjama honours our connections to Country, community, culture and kin through our work. Djinjama’s projects actively interact with lands, waters and air, and as such we actively protect the rights of Country to be healthy in our work. We respect Traditional Custodians who have long cared for Country and aim to elevate First Voices in all our work. We are grateful to Elders and Knowledge Holders for their continued sharing of wisdom, story, language, and knowledge.
