Abstract:

Issues with the design, construction, and provision of infrastructure and housing in Aboriginal communities are perpetuated by governance and policy, creating a systemic problem that contributes to Aboriginal disadvantage. Therefore, collaboration and shared ownership are crucial to ensuring design schemes respond to the needs and priorities of communities. Drawing on the methodological approaches developed in ‘Architecture is Participation’ (Hofmann, 2014) and ‘The House Game’ (Farley, Birdsall-Jones & Datta, 2018), the research evaluates the engagement processes implemented in a preschool and community hub design at Murrin Bridge, and the evaluation of a housing and homeownership program in Wreck Bay, reflecting on the capacity for participatory design processes to positively influence built outcomes. This research adapts Memmott’s ‘Cultural Design Paradigm’ as an analytical lens to foreground the significance of cultural and social values in establishing design principles, to guide architectural outcomes (Memmott, 2007). Similarly, applying culturally safe community engagement methods has the capacity to provide insights into daily practices and moments of cultural nuance, in relation to space. This research contributes to the potential for participatory processes to identify the spatial requirements for infrastructure and housing in Aboriginal communities through collaborative design and evaluation processes, providing insights to inform future designs.
