Abstract:

If it is true that public buildings ‘reflect the beliefs, priorities and aspirations of a people’, what do Australia’s public buildings say about Australians? More specifically, what does the design of Australia’s courthouses say about the beliefs, priorities, aspirations, and agency of Australian people and in particular, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander’s peoples? These symbolic architectural gestures derive from a belief in the communicative force of architecture, and from an understanding that the courthouse and courtrooms are the canvas upon which societal priorities as to law and justice are writ large.
