oneUstralia's participation in next year's Venice Biennale remains. The Australian Pavilion may remain dark in 2026 as Creative Australia firmly decides to cancel its decisions by its artist Khaled Sabsabi and curator Michael Dagostino.

It was an extra weight for the First Nation team, who unveiled new works in part of the Architectural Biennale in Venice: The Venice Biennale, held every other year in Gialdini.

The seven designers worked together under the nickname "The Creative Field" and were the first all-indigenous teams sent to Venice in Australia. Their mission was to rebuild the indigenous architecture, design and the concept of indigenous architecture, design and connection with the nation with the concept of the world, rebuilding the subway that it hit, a 4.8m, 9m prototype called Home, called Home, for the first time at the University of Sydney.

Handmade of sustainable materials - clay, gypsum and plywood - From within the Veneto area, Home's architecture relies on barges on the Venetian Canal and downloads at the bottom of the elevated location of the Australian Pavilion. From there, wheelbarrows and temporary ramps are the only means to transport building materials into it.

The walls of the house are made of 139 individually cast plaster panels, each requiring at least five to six people.

“Our skin oils are embedded throughout the exhibition,” said Jack Gillmer-Lilley, an architect at SJB Architecture in Sydney, and a part of Creative Sphere.

He hopes that home will encourage every visitor to visit the Australian Pavilion to embrace their unique relationship with the concept of family.

“For me, the definition is constantly changing, and it’s unrealistic,” he said. “I never grew up with a stable house. There’s a lot of family trauma, there’s a lot of happy stories, a lot of sadness, and we’re always walking around. For me, I can have connections with my family, no matter where my world was.”

For Quanandamooka architect Bradley Kerr, home used to be a "mom's place"; now, the father of two defines home as a place where he can "share his son's smile and stupid farts."

“We don’t want to impose a feeling, image or idea on people,” he added. “We want people to find something that is relevant and connected to it because for us as Aboriginal people, it’s one of the ways we connect and connect with each other, and it’s something we think we really need to share in this space.”

When the news broke Sabu Sabi and Dagostino were fired by Creative Australia, the Creative Sphere Team was working, the producer of their biennial project (with the Australian Institute of Alchitects of Animessions of Sumissiments of the Massimessions). "As Aboriginals, we responded disappointed and concerned to this behavior of censorship, exclusion and marginalization," the architect wrote on Instagram.

Although the project never began to be remembered, Home has become the team’s reaction to the 2023 Voice Referendum.

“We are still working to prove that we want to move forward together and we want to celebrate and share our culture with the Australian people,” Kerr said. “While we have to manage, juggle and face racism every day and every week, we want to continue to be generous.

"People want and expect that marginalized people will feel all the deep sorrow and trauma. But while all the challenges we face come from joy, our strength comes from joy. Happiness itself can be an act of resistance."

Last year, an elementary school in Darlington, Sydney won the highest award at the World Architecture Festival in Singapore, acclaimed for celebrating the school’s “strong connection with the Aboriginal people” and incorporated into Aboriginal art and design. . The same construction company, FJC Studio, also designed the Yellamundie Library in southwest Sydney, which was named one of the four most beautiful new libraries in the world in September.

While only 0.3% of architecture majors graduated from Australian universities as Aboriginals, several recently accredited projects have established links with the country at the centre of its design, including Spinifex Hill Project Space, Mildura’s Powerhouse Place, Nungalinya’s Nungalinya’s Nungalinya’s Nungalinya’s and North Head Viewing Platforms.

“We are increasingly speaking with the influence of indigenous locations, the country and the influence of indigenous ideas around how buildings work and how they actually matter to a place,” former AIA President Stuart Tanner told Guardian in December.

“This is another level of the building, and I think that will put Australian architecture far beyond what people traditionally think architects do.”

When the Venice Biennale ends, the house will be manually demolished, all of its materials returning to the landscape where they came from. No screws, adhesives or metal fixtures are used in the building of the house.

“It’s a tough structure,” Gilmer Riley said. “The amount of energy, the amount of emotion created…but it makes us feel proud and happy about the results.”
