The Kimberwalli Centre for Excellence is a community lead built project in Western Sydney. The project set out to create an educational community space that supports Aboriginal youth between high school and higher education. The Centre was designed using BVN’s Designing with Country methodology – an approach that connects First Nations thinking and contemporary architecture.
The Australian Institute of Architects acknowledges First Nations peoples as the Traditional Custodians of the lands, waters, and skies of the continent now called Australia.
We express our gratitude to their Elders and Knowledge Holders whose wisdom, actions and knowledge have kept culture alive.
We recognise First Nations peoples as the first architects and builders. We appreciate their continuing work on Country from pre-invasion times to contemporary First Nations architects, and respect their rights to continue to care for Country.
