Abstract:

Centred on a collaborative project between The University of Technology Sydney and the New South Wales Government Aboriginal Housing Office (NSW Aboriginal Housing Office), this research investigates the design, procurement and construction processes of Aboriginal housing in north-western New South Wales. This research critically reviews literature and architectural documentation. It also analyses interview responses from members of the NSW Aboriginal Housing Office, builders, architects and Aboriginal Community Housing Providers to explore the varying perspectives within the design and delivery of Aboriginal housing. Through action and reflection-based practice, this research demonstrates how culturally responsive design principles can be developed and implemented within the design and delivery of Aboriginal housing. This research evaluates iterative architectural documentation to analyse an Aboriginal housing project in Boggabilla, New South Wales, from the initial concepts, development approval, construction and the tenants moving in. It examines the challenges of delivering Aboriginal housing in regional north western New South Wales and the pressures that have precipitated the growing impetus for government agencies to ‘rationalise’ designs to focus on cost, maintenance, and timely delivery. Mindful of the legacy of substandard existing Aboriginal housing stock, this research investigates the challenges that impact delivering culturally responsive design outcomes.
