Yagan Square brings back the city and community life to the Horseshoe Bridge. It also becomes a great place for the people around the site to discover and celebrates the environment, heritage, and culture of Perth and Western Australia.

The design concepts of the architecture in this project can respond to the imperative for this site to be welcoming and inclusive. Yagan Square also becomes an active cultural and civic destination that represents the diversity of broader Western Australia and local Perth region. The convergence ideas for this project include indigenous and non-indigenous people, narratives, tracks, and geologies.
