There We Go

Aboriginal people are the first Australians that are widely recognized as the oldest civilization in the world.

There is no written language for Australian Aboriginal People, so in order to convey their important cultural stories throughout the generations, they carved the surrounding rocks for their artwork. 

Aborigines were inspired by the sky, it is not a coincidence that they were the first observers of the sky. 

After analyzing the artwork that Aborigines created on the rocks and their whereabouts, it was clear that in a sacred place called the"Kakadu National Park", located on the Northside of Australia, there were the most inspiring artworks that are still visited every year by the tourist for the purpose of taking a closer look at them. 

The research center's scope was then evolved into the social anthropology of the Aborigines. In an attempt to do so, it was necessary to be closer to those famous rocks, to show people the aboriginal arts and to make them feel more connected to them while providing them a spare space to try it for themselves as well. The spaces are formed at different levels of the rock, some spaces are created using the rock as an architectural element. That way, better interaction with those arts could be provided and the whole area could be perceived as an exhibition area.
