Design proposal

The architecture will provide a neutral and autonomous framework within which the art is displayed.
The design will capture the distinctive qualities of the Newtown area however it will be influenced by the culture of the Aboriginal people and what this area symbolises to the people.
The design of the gallery has been influenced by the symbols used by aboriginal people in traditional aboriginal art. The symbol will be used in a way to express the culture of the Aboriginal people.


The design of the gallery will be based upon these two signs. These signs represent what this area one meant to its people. The area was a track that connected various areas of Sydney. Using this symbol will not only allow me to express the Aboriginal culture, but it also allows me to express the atmosphere of Newtown and the architecture which has been built in the area.
The building will conform to the box like structure of the surrounding buildings. As keeping this structure helps me express the symbolism.

The interior of the gallery will take you on a journey to into the the lives of aboriginal people. I will be creating a sequence of spaces that will help show what the aboriginal people have gone through since the settlement of europeans.
