西澳大学珀斯分校圣凯瑟琳学院的宿舍楼是其Dandjoo Darbalung项目的的特别计划，该项目在Nyungar语中意为“混合在一起”，旨在为当地学生提供公平的机会。该建筑的概念是将宿舍楼无缝融入现有的校园环境，提升学院的生活和学习体验，以包容性、文化理解和敏感性为基础，反对隔离主义。

Text description provided by the architects. 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.





新建筑的规划策略是创造一个多种用途的共享公共空间，这个空间位于前厅，并用不同的空间来创造综合的建筑。这样的概念产生出对公共空间有归属感的环境，同时有个人责任感，以鼓励学生走出房间，进入公共空间。这也意味着一个团体可以由具有不同经历的学生组成，创造出小社区，其内部社会结构也更符合本土的关系理念。

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.





建筑的文化核心是创造“银杏”的形式——一个开放的四层结构，集中在建筑和校园网络的交汇处，被扩张的绿色植被所掩盖，并与邻近建筑形成对比。在一楼和二楼，“银杏”是带有座位的论坛，二楼是中央的学习和思考空间，顶部是一个外部开放但被遮蔽的文化仪式空间，可以点燃篝火。主导形式在学院中创造了一个重要的地标，强调了该设施的文化性。

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相融合，通过个人的职业和归属感，承认本土特征的重要性，而不是通过建筑规定其身份。规划侧重于维护所有现有的成熟树木，创造了适宜规模的庭院，这是圣凯瑟琳校园的一个明显特征。屋顶和露台花园为用户和校园提供了更好的服务空间。

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.







本土庭院被新的住宿楼Dandjoo Darbalung所包围，并与之相连。Dandjoo Darbalung拥有灵活的管理空间，专门运行该项目。这个空间与翻新的Prescott大楼底层的学习中心相邻，该中心在住宿区内被重新使用，在校园的主要路线标识上被展示，该设施确保校园内有平等的学习空间，同时提升了学习的氛围。

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.
