Who is the builder for the aboriginal arts project? HANSEN YUNCKEN OR LEND LEASE?

Can someone "accidentally" send one of the demo vehicles through the carpark, please?

Agreed. I would think that considering the mass excavation of this site that it wouldn't have been too much effort to burry a few thousand carparks below the new innovation hub and surrounding grounds.

They aren't actually demolishing the buildings beyond the basement level. Everything above ground and the basement goes, but the piles and other major things below this level are staying. The location of the remaining piles is picked up before the basement is backfilled. The design of the new buildings is such that they will miss the remaining structures.

Building an underground carpark would result in these piles needing to be removed. It would probably extend the demolition process by a year or more.

There has been a relatively standstill with the demolition for the past 2 weeks whilst the long arm excavator has been partially off site. It's now back and reassembled. I'd expect the remaining lift core to be down quite quickly from here.

They have also started demolishing the chimney between Frome Rd and the carpark. Workers in a basket hanging from a crane were jack hammering the top today.

Does anyone know what this chimney was? I presume a furnace of some sort?

Most hospitals back in the day had their own incinerators for medical waste and such. Like many other industries, lots also just had big holes to chuck stuff in and then cover over when full.

This is shaping up to look amazing.

New $200m Aboriginal art gallery named Tarrkarri, which means ‘the future’ in Kaurna language

Construction on the state’s landmark $200 million indigenous art gallery has started, as its symbolic name is revealed.

Premier Steven Marshall and Kaurna Elder Uncle Jeffrey Newchurch on Tuesday unveiled the centre’s name, Tarrkarri, which will be the future centrepiece of Adelaide’s Lot Fourteen site.

Mr Marshall said the new name meant “the future” in Kaurna language and “symbolises the setting of strong foundations for the Centre and where the Centre is located on the Adelaide Plains”.

The Aboriginal Art and Cultures Centre will house Aboriginal artefacts and other indigenous artworks when it opens in 2025.

Officials say the name was selected by the centre’s Aboriginal Reference Group and given cultural consent by Kaurna Warra Karrpanthi.

Major builder Lend Lease has started construction, which will take 2.5 years.

Mr Marshall said fewer than 1 per cent of current artefacts were on public display.

“Traditionally there’s been a lot of focus … about indigenous deficits, so what is going wrong and closing the gap,” Mr Marshall said.

“We have to work on closing that gap. But this to me is a narrative game changer.

“This is where, I think, young Aboriginal people will be able to look up at the most incredible and impressive building on the skyline and say ‘that’s my culture’ and something they can be very proud of.

“We will, of course, acknowledge the harsh realities and truth on colonisation in Australia. “There will be an element of truth telling. There will overwhelmingly, I think, be an element of celebration … on all that Aboriginal Australia has achieved. But most importantly, the future Tarrkarri, what is lying ahead.”

Ambassador for the Aboriginal Art and Cultures Centre and the Aboriginal Reference Group leader, David Rathman, said the new Kaurna name was a “perfect title”.

“(It) will showcase to the world, and all Australians, 60,000 years of culture, understanding of country and contemporary expression,” he said.

“It will allow us to share our unique cultures and stories, while creating a lively and immersive journey together.”

Federal Communications and Arts Minister Paul Fletcher said the centre, jointly funded through the Adelaide City Deal, would be an “important cultural and tourism attraction”.

“The new Aboriginal Art and Cultures Centre – Tarrkarri – will showcase the rich history of Aboriginal cultures in Australia to hundreds of thousands of visitors each year through immersive visual and performance arts,” Minister Fletcher said.

Mr Marshall said a director and board was being finalised but it would have a heavy representation from indigenous cultures.

An assistant director, Lee-ann Buckskin, has been appointed.

It's the single most striking development Adelaide has seen, in my opinion. I'm sure it will be globally recognised for most importantly the 65,000 years of stories and knowledge the centre will share, along with it's incredible design form. I can't wait to see this grow and its built form develop. It looks phenomenal!

The architecture is shaping up to be stunning!

We've gone from upside-down triangular prism, to Cheese Grater 2.0, to this. Can't wait to see what further refinements they make!

I'd be very surprised if it's "globally" recognised tbh, but it will hopefully entice more interstate visitors to S.A
