Djinjama brings Aboriginal ways of thinking and cultural practices along with community narratives into projects to provide an Indigenous underlay in order the whole project is grounded in Country. This approach recognises the multiple perspectives of Knowledge Holders to design with Country.

DESIGNING WITH COUNTRY
Djinjama’s work includes design, architecture and built environment projects relating to Designing with Country, Connecting with Country and Planning with Country.

We collaborate on projects such as:

Upgrades and refurbishments
Cultural mapping
Installation design
Architectural design
Interpretation strategies
Public art projects
Curation
Master plans
Place-making strategies
Precinct plans
Urban planning

COUNTRY CENTRED DESIGN
We use Country Centred Design methodologies to bring Country, culture and kin into the centre of our work. Starting with Country is a new method for non-Indigenous people and for the built environment. However, at Djinjama, our approach continues to develop the process gifted by generations of Aboriginal ancestors in which design happens in collaboration with Country. It is essential First Nations people guide this process, which is what Djinjama brings to projects.
