The design draws from a bespoke Aboriginal artwork by Dharug Boorooberongal artist Daniel Apps called Nangamay (Dream). The RAP design explores the intricate relationship between the built environment and the natural world, emphasising their dynamic interconnection.
The artwork Nangamay (Dream) highlights the balance between urban development and the environment, showing that these forces are not separate but continuously shaping and influencing each other.
At the heart of the composition is a large circular meeting space, symbolising GBCA and its role in fostering collaboration and leadership in sustainable building practices. Radiating from this central hub are pathways that represent the interconnectedness of various projects and initiatives supported by GBCA. These paths cross diverse landscapes, ecosystems and waterways, underscoring the importance of considering the specific environmental context of each project.
The RAP reflects GBCA’s vision for a sustainable built environment that is inclusive and respects the rich cultures of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
