Local studio Djinjama has unveiled designs for Ngurra: The National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Cultural Precinct in Canberra, Australia.

Ngurra – which refers to 'home' in various Aboriginal languages – will be set within the grassy landscape of Ngunnawal and Ngambri Country in Canberra, and was designed to serve as a cultural centre for the First Nations people.

Designed in collaboration with design firm COLA Studio, and architecture practices Hassell and Edition Office, the proposal by Djinjama won a competition for the new landmark and will comprise two main spaces – The National Indigenous Knowledge and Cultural Centre and The National Resting Place.

当地工作室 Djinjama 公布了澳大利亚堪培拉国家原住民和托雷斯海峡岛民文化区（Ngurra: The National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Cultural Precinct）的设计方案。

Ngurra在各种原住民语言中意为 “家”，它将坐落在堪培拉Ngunnawal和Ngambri地区的草地上，旨在成为原住民的文化中心。

Djinjama与设计公司COLA工作室、建筑事务所Hassell和Edition Office合作设计的方案在新地标竞赛中获胜，该方案将包括两个主要空间--国家土著知识和文化中心以及国家休息场所。当地工作室Djinjama公布了Ngurra：澳大利亚堪培拉国家土著和托雷斯海峡岛民文化区的设计方案。

Djinjama 的方案是与设计公司 COLA Studio 以及建筑事务所 Hassell 和 Edition Office 合作设计的，该方案在新地标设计竞赛中胜出，将由两个主要空间组成--国家土著知识和文化中心以及国家安息之地。

"Djinjama guided us in an Indigenous-led design process that allowed us to sense Country, which means that deep time and memory has been captured into the design," Hassell head of design Mark Loughnan said.

"The result is a distinctive design concept which creates a globally recognisable home for the National Indigenous Knowledge and Cultural Centre and The National Resting Place," he added."It's a design where Country, kin, and community are embedded."

"In a similar way to how significant buildings like the Sydney Opera House have become a physical symbol of modern Australia, we sought to propose a bold and compelling concept that rightly places and expresses the significance of First Nations' history and cultures in Australia's national conscience."

Djinjama 指导我们开展了一个由土著人主导的设计过程，让我们感受到了 “国家”，这意味着设计中捕捉到了深刻的时间和记忆，"哈塞尔设计负责人马克-拉夫南（Mark Loughnan）说。

“他补充说："结果是一个与众不同的设计理念，为国家土著知识和文化中心以及国家安息之地创造了一个全球可识别的家园。

“与悉尼歌剧院等重要建筑成为现代澳大利亚的物质象征的方式类似，我们试图提出一个大胆而引人注目的概念，将原住民的历史和文化正确地置于澳大利亚的国家意识之中并加以表达。

The National Indigenous Knowledge and Cultural Centre will form the largest of the spaces and function as a central plaza hosting a new community room for events and functions.

Here, a large wooden canopy held up by slim timber columns will shelter the space and be punctuated by a circular opening to form a spacious, open-air courtyard below.

Beside the courtyard, the indoor cultural centre will be nestled into the hilly landscape – with visualisations depicting the structure wrapped by textured walls and glass openings, and topped with greenery.

In a similar manner, The National Resting Place will also be integrated into the rolling landscape and will serve as a private ceremonial building designed as a "discrete space for cultural sensitivities and moments of reflection".

The space will comprise two structures, including a curved entrance building followed by a taller, circular structure that will shelter the resting place and be wrapped by a secluded inner courtyard.

国家土著知识和文化中心将成为最大的空间，并作为一个中心广场，容纳一个新的社区活动室。

在这里，一个由细长木柱支撑的大型木质顶篷将遮蔽整个空间，并以一个圆形开口作为点缀，在下方形成一个宽敞的露天庭院。

在庭院旁边，室内文化中心将依山傍水--根据视觉效果，该建筑将被纹理墙壁和玻璃开口包裹，顶部还将种植绿色植物。

同样，国家憩息地也将与起伏的地形融为一体，并将作为一座私人仪式建筑，设计为 “文化敏感性和思考时刻的独立空间”。

该空间将由两座建筑组成，包括一座弧形入口建筑和一座较高的圆形建筑，后者将遮蔽休息场所，并被一个隐蔽的内庭所环绕。

Connecting each of the spaces will be a network of interweaving and meandering paths carved through the site's landscape. These were determined through an observation of the historical movement of animals across the landscape.

Also included in the design is an amphitheatre, along with wildflower and grassland gardens.

连接各个空间的是一个交织的网络，蜿蜒曲折的小径穿过场地的地貌。这些路径是通过观察历史上动物在景观中的移动而确定的。

设计中还包括一个露天剧场以及野花和草地花园。
