Learning from Yitpi Yartapuultiku
Description
"Yitpi Yartapuultiku, translated to the Soul of Port Adelaide, is a space where all people – Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal – can come together to learn, share, reflect and grow.
This one-of-a-kind facility has been designed as a shared space for collaboration and connection. Yitpi Yartapuultiku brings people together through storytelling, art, culture, and environment – building understanding and creating a stronger, more inclusive future for all South Australians. It’s a destination for community connection, education, business and environmental stewardship.
Yitpi Yartapuultiku offers a unique space where Kaurna traditions and knowledge meet contemporary innovation." https://www.cityofpae.sa.gov.au/visit/yitpi-yartapuultiku
In a rare opportunity to talk with Elders, RAIA, AILA and PIA present a joint event for the built environment industry as part of Adelaide Design Week 2026, where we can all learn together about this unique project. From the inception of the project by the Port Adelaide Kaurna community to the co-design process and the final outcome, there are many valuable lessons for everyone in the construction industry.
