krakani–lumi – ‘resting pace’ – is a standing camp (‘permanent’ camp) within the wukalina / Mt.William National Park, for a cultural walk that is guided and operated by the Aboriginal Land Council of Tasmania. The project has been designed over a number of years in close consultation with the Land Council, and the broader Tasmanian Aboriginal community. The project is strongly informed by the siting, materials and traditional half-domed forms of ancient Tasmanian Aboriginal shelter. These traditional interiors are held by a robustly detailed charred timber clad exterior. When not in use, the exterior conceals and protects the experience of the rich timber interior and becomes a shadow against the coastal banksia that surrounds the site.
