Abstract
This research with the Raukkan community contrasts Western understandings of architecture and the built and unbuilt binary with Indigenous understandings of Country. Working in collaboration with the Ngarrindjeri Raukkan community this thesis aims to unfold the architectural realities rooted in the philosophy of Ruwe (Country), which encompasses Land, Water, Sky, Spirits, and all other Entities. The research progresses through three stages: The first stage investigates Western approaches to Australian Indigenous architecture. The second investigates a relational approach to understandings of Ruwe. The final stage adopts Indigenous yarning methodologies in semi-structured interviews to explore architecture as Country in developing an architectural framework informed by Ngarrindjeri participants’ relational knowledges.
