ecologically and politically. The building has been designed
as an expression of Aboriginal culture, with integral display

with its powerful site, extensive use sustainable materials,
low energy consumption and sympathetic responsivenessto

spirit of Anangu culture. The complex was designed in collaboration
with the Aboriginal community and is to be build in 3 stages.

Natural materials have been used where possible in the
construction with finishes. Architecturally, the Centre
provides users with some imaginative keys to strengthen
relationships and understanding of the land, as well as
practical spaces for learning and play.
