Our brief European history easily demonstrates that people types, their ambitions and politics have been consistent across centuries. Clues are also left in our built environment.
Deliberate and careful interpretation can draw attention to these clues and help connect them, in their own historical context.

“..interpretation enriches our lives through engaging emotions, enhancing experiences and deepening the understanding of places, people, events and objects from the past and present. Interpretation communicates ideas, information and knowledge in a way which helps people to make sense of their environment”.
Interpretation Australia 2026
