Diller Scofidio + Renfro and Woods Bagot have revealed visuals of the Aboriginal Art and Cultures Centre in Adelaide, which will take cues from traditional indigenous shelters.
Once complete, the 11,500-square-metre cultural centre will host a mix of exhibition and event spaces to celebrate the past, present and future of Australia s First Nations.
According to Diller Scofidio + Renfro and Woods Bagot, the building s entire design will also honour the traditions of indigenous Australians.
Developed together with an Aboriginal Reference Group, this includes its layered, basket-like facade that references a wurlie – a traditional temporary shelter occupied by indigenous people.
