The Naarm Architecture Foundation is based on the unceded lands and waterways of Wurundjeri Woi-wurrung Country. We acknowledge over 65,000 years of continuous place-making, cultural knowledge and custodianship by Wurundjeri Woi-wurrung and Bunurong peoples, and by First Nations communities across Australia.
