Abstract

The publication of the Handbook of Contemporary Indigenous Architecture is a reflection of the extraordinary rise in scholarly work and architectural practice in a field that barely two decades ago was paid little attention. This Handbook is a witness to the global rise of contemporary architecture by, with and for Indigenous peoples, who aim to assert and reassert their Indigenous identity; to claim, reclaim and revitalise spaces, and to create places and spaces that are reflective of Indigenous lifestyles, cultures and communities, and that celebrate Indigenous identities.

Estimates of the number of language groups in Australian prior to European settlement in 1788 vary.

It should also be noted that what was ‘acceptable’ terminology in the past in Australia is often considered offensive. Terms such as half-caste, full-blood, natives, blacks, darkies, blackfellas and other terms were often communicated in a disparaging or racist manner. For many people, these terms can cause distress, anger and resentment and also contribute to reinforcing negative attitudes towards Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander peoples.
