A glance at any Australian town or city shows one of the world’s oldest continuous cultures is largely absent. A side note, rarely the headline.
And is it any wonder, with only around 20 Indigenous Australian architects practicing in 2019? It’s not just an Australian story.
There’s a lot to be learned from other experiences too. In the first episode of our Hassell Talks podcast, we hear from Elisapeta Heta, Māori Design Leader from New Zealand’s Jasmax.
She tells us about her journey in embedding a Māori perspective into New Zealand’s design industry – and the long game of helping designers and communities create the kind of cultural safety that supports indigenous engagement.
