西澳大学珀斯分校圣凯瑟琳学院的住宿楼是为圣凯瑟琳学院的Dandjoo Darbalung项目特意规划的，该项目在Nyungar语中意为 “混合在一起”，旨在为土著学生提供公平的机会。该建筑的部分雄心是将自己无缝地融入现有的校园，提高整个学院的生活和学习体验，以包容性、文化理解和敏感性为依据，并反对任何隔离的看法。

The accommodation building at St Catherine’s College, UWA Perth was purposefully planned for the St Catherine’s Dandjoo Darbalung program, which in Nyungar means ‘mixing together and which aims to provide equity of access for Indigenous students. Part of the building’s ambition is to seamlessly integrate itself into the existing campus and enhance the living and learning experience for the entire College, informed by inclusivity, cultural understanding, and sensitivity, and countering any perceptions of segregation.

新建筑的主要规划策略是，在一个共同的前门后面，围绕着一个具有多种用途的共享公共空间，用具有不同设施的房间的层次结构来创造一个家庭。这创造了一个对公共空间有归属感的家庭，对它有更大的个人责任感，鼓励学生走出房间，进入公共空间。这也意味着一个家庭可以由具有不同大学经历的学生纵向组成，创造出小社区，其社会结构更符合本土的亲属关系理念。

The principal planning strategy of the new building was to create a household from a hierarchy of rooms with different amenities placed around a shared common space with multiple purposes, behind a common front door. This created a household with a sense of belonging to the common space and a greater sense of personal responsibility to it and encourages students out of their rooms and into the common space. It also meant a household could be vertically composed of students with various university experiences, creating small communities with a social structure more aligned with the indigenous idea of Kinship.

该建筑的文化理解的核心是Banksia形式的创造，这是一个开放的四层结构，集中在建筑和校园网络的交汇处，被扩张的网状结构和绿色植被所掩盖，并与相邻的更多机构建筑的僵硬形成了对比。在一楼和二楼，银杏是一个看台座位的论坛，二楼是中央的外部社会学习和思考空间，顶部是一个外部开放但被遮蔽的文化仪式空间，有一个火坑和吸烟坑。主导形式在学院中形成了一个重要的地标，加强了该设施的文化重要性。

Central to the building’s cultural understanding is the creation of the Banksia form, an open four-storey structure centrally located at the confluence of the building and campus networks, veiled in expanded mesh and green vegetation, and creating a counterpoint to the rigidity of the more institutional adjacent buildings. On the ground and first floor, the Banksia is a bleacher seat forum, the second level is the central external social learning and reflection space, and the top is an externally open but shrouded cultural ceremony space with a fire and smoking pit. The dominant form imposes itself on the College creating a significant landmark that reinforces the cultural importance of the facility.

该建筑的一个关键体验是其开放性和与周围环境的联系，包括景观和建筑形式。内部空间与外部空间融为一体，通过个人的职业和归属感，承认本土身份的重要性，而不是通过建筑规定身份。仔细的规划侧重于维护所有现有的成熟树木，创造了人类规模的庭院，这是圣凯瑟琳校园的一个明显特征。屋顶和高架露台花园为住户和更广泛的校园提供了更好的便利。

A key experience of the building is the openness and connection to its surrounds, both in landscape and built form. Interior spaces blur with the outside, acknowledging the importance of indigenous identity through an individual’s occupation and sense of belonging, rather than the identity being prescribed through the building. Careful planning focused on maintaining all the existing mature trees has created human-scaled courtyards which is a distinct feature of the St Catherine’s campus. Rooftop and elevated terrace gardens provide enhanced amenities for both the occupants and the broader campus.

本土庭院以新的住宿建筑Dandjoo Darbalung房间为界，它与之直接相连。Dandjoo Darbalung房间是一个灵活的管理空间，专门用于运行该项目。这个空间直接与翻新的普雷斯科特大楼底层的补充学习中心相邻，该中心已从住宿区被重新利用为校园学习中心，确保校园内没有不平等的学习设施，并提高了学习的知名度，现在校园的主要路线上都有展示。

The Indigenous courtyard is bounded by the new accommodation building the Dandjoo Darbalung room which it directly connects with. The Dandjoo Darbalung room is a flexible and managed space specifically for running the program. This space is directly adjacent to a complementary learning center on the reconditioned Prescott Building ground floor which has been repurposed from accommodation to a campus learning center, ensuring there is no learning facility inequality on campus and raises the profile of learning, which is now on display on the major routes of the campus.
