Goat Island’s history presents a narrative of colonial power that disregarded unrecognisable, foreign markers of material culture. Despite this, Indigenous Australians have continually made use of the night sky as a repository for culture; something that could not be attacked by colonisation. Similarly, in the context of contemporary Sydney, with a current lack of diverse after dark activity and associated lock out laws, 00:00 proposes a nocturnal cultural centre. Each principal programmatic space encapsulates notions of the night and states of reflective consciousnesses. The result is a culturally and landscape sensitive civic centre that encourages the individual to reconsider what makes culture valid when we are placed in a realm with its own atmosphere, customs and forms of belonging. To consider the immaterial, what we cannot physically obtain or fully comprehend with all our senses, collectively.
