HOME

The Australian Institute of Architects present HOME for the Australia Pavilion at the 19th International Architecture Exhibition – La Biennale di Venezia.

The First Nations Designers representing Australia want you to share what ‘HOME’ means to you through participation in a hands-on sensory experience to share memories and stories of your ‘HOME’.

"HOME is a generous and timely offering to the Venice Architecture Biennale that will welcome visitors as active contributors and participants.”

–Emily McDaniel, Co-Creative Director

“The Creative Sphere will enact culturally inclusive dialogue as an approach to Australian architecture through First Nations methodologies of gathering and yarning. In creating the vision of HOME for the 2025 Venice Architecture Biennale Australia Pavilion, the Creative Sphere presents a design approach that has been gathering momentum that Indigenises the built environment through moments and locations between cultures.

HOME will enact the Indigenous practice of yarning as a methodology to highlight the multitude of actions that can elicit dialogue, from spoken word and living object creation to deep listening and the sharing of stories behind what HOME means to all of us. A multitude of outcomes through process and relationship building and strengthening will create dialogue that is impactful and resonating with Country.

For HOME, guests will share their stories to cultivate a deeper sense of agency, custodianship and reciprocity. This will contribute to the evolution of living environments that continually regenerate ways of being, knowing and doing through the activation of inclusive dialogue and relationships.”
