An essential tropical structure wrapped in exquisite art screens. Every element is absolutely required and integral. Natural ventilation / lighting / prefabrication support a highly sustainable outcome. "Created in consultation with the artist’s family and community, Puantulura’s distinctive Jilamara have been transposed onto a series of hand-drawn, laser-cut metal panels that wrap around the new art centre building. These dynamic perforated panels protect the body of the building just as Jilamara protects the body in Tiwi ceremony. Like skin, they also enable the body to breathe." Dr Slade
