Architectural Nodes

Ways of Seeing Node

The ngurrak barring Architectural Nodes are collaborative explorations of the themes of the walk through an Indigenous lens, crafted by First Peoples design studios, Djinjama and COLA Studio.

The Ways of Seeing Node is an expression of the rhythm of the forest and the movement of water through the layers of Country. Here, the phloem of the Mountain Ash is honoured as conduit of water from Biik-ut (Below Country) through Biik-dui (On Country) and into Wurru wurru Biik (Sky Country). Baanj Biik (Water Country) is honoured as an ephemeral presence, reflecting Sky and Star Country when it pools in the boulder.

The Ways of Seeing Node can be found along Kyeema Track, Mount Dandenong.
