dc.description.abstractResearch Background The Fire Memories research project, funded by the State and Commonwealth governments, aims to build community resilience to disasters by gathering and sharing first-hand experiences of the community responses to the 2019-2020 bushfires. The first phase concerned the collection of bushfire memories through interviews with community members, the second phase is the building of the pavilion and the last phase is about guidelines co-creation with the community. The pavilion is to showcase the first results of this research, displayed on impacted sites, as well as to collect and share memories, increase awareness, foster discussion and build collective learning. Research Contribution The Phoenix Pavilion is the first tangible outcome to be produced, relying on an innovative partnership between Griffith University and the Qld Department of Agriculture and Fisheries, Salisbury Research Facility, which is producing new innovative timber products based on Qld trees. Two types of their product are displayed in the pavilion (wall and floor), locally produced by Austral Plywood and Big River Group. Wesbeam kindly offered all the Laminated Veneer Lumber (LVL) used in this pavilion. The main idea of the design for the pavilion was to use house silhouettes that reminds us of the 11 homes that were burned at Timbarra during the bushfires. It is why the exterior of the pavilion is black, while the inside is a nice clear timber shade to symbolize the untouched core of the community spirit. Additionally, the middle section of the pavilion is cut open in the shape of trees to express the regeneration process that always takes place after any type of disaster. Research Significance The Pavilion was launched by Andrew Colvin from the Prime Minister Cabinet, National Coordinator of the National Bushfire Recovery Agency, showing the significance of the project and its outcome. So far, more than 500 persons have visited the pavilion since 26/02/2021.
