Andrew Lane Architect/Project Manager, Indij Architectural & Interior Design
Andrew is one of only a few aboriginal architects registered in Australia. Andrew brings a unique mix of technical skills and cultural knowledge based on his own indigenous background and working experience as an architect/project manager since 1992.
Francoise Lane Interior Designer, Indij Architectural & Interior Design Francoise graduated from QUT with a Bachelor of Built Environment (Interior design) in 1995. She has an ability to draw from people their ideas, plans and motivations which proves valuable in the critical brief development stage. Francoise Lane is a Torres Strait Islander woman whose maternal family are from Hammond Island.
Andrew and Francoise will be talking about how public use buildings can be enhanced when we recognise and embed into the built form the historical significance of that place and how that connection to county of the traditional custodians or owners continues today. This is what they describe as ‘Reconciliation through Architecture’.
