Into Country

The colonial view of indigenous occupation as primitive and nomadic has persisted into the 21st century, with the acknowledgement of legitimate Indigenous land still being of high contention within the Australian legal system. In order for Australian design practice to evolve it must purposefully aim to deconstruct the damaging and exclusive mindset that negates the importance of interiority methods of the First Peoples of this nation. The proposed site for La Perouse 'Into Country' is one that embodies a united, respectful and regenerated site. 'Into Country' is a site-wide exhibition, where each component of the landscape and infrastructure both tell and create narratives both past and present for the land. The insight into landscape and the environmental symbiosis associated with Country and Aboriginal methods of place making is invaluable to the design practice landscape of Australia. It is our role as designers to honour these architectural methods that, for thousands of years, have been embedded 'Into Country'.
