This question is on the minds of many non-Indigenous architects wanting to learn how to design with Country. Budawang/Yuin woman and spatial designer Danièle Hromek has gathered together a group of individuals to answer it, using 14 interconnected principles.
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.
