The Indigenous cultural knowledges co-designing campuses

Australia’s social and cultural evolution is expressed through its university campus landscapes, which have become increasingly significant as a means to acknowledge the traditional owners of the land on which these campuses have been built.

The western ‘tradition’ of cloisters and lawns is becoming less inscribed in campus landscapes, and a belated acknowledgement of Australia’s Aboriginals and Torres Strait Islanders has seen universities recognise their potential agency for reconciliation.
