Celebrating Tiana Furner - Among Australia’s first registered female Aboriginal Architects.
Tiana, a proud Wiradjuri and Gomeroi woman and an associate in BVN's Brisbane studio, has built her career on a deep commitment to socially conscious design. Originally from northeast New South Wales, she understood early on how architecture could shape lives.
From a young age, I recognised how thoughtful architecture could transform wellbeing. As my career evolves, I remain deeply committed to creating spaces that inspire comfort, resilience, and pride in our communities.
Tiana Furner, Associate
Tiana's dedication to socially conscious design was further cemented during her studies at the University of New South Wales (UNSW), where she specialised in Social Agency as part of her Master's degree. This study stream focused on designing buildings with a humanitarian lens, addressing challenges like social displacement and alienation, and creating spaces that foster stronger, more inclusive communities.
We congratulate Tiana on her registration, which is a significant career milestone for any young architect. Her passion for people is evident in her work across the Brisbane studio, and we recognise that her experience and perspective is a unique strength within our collective.
Ali Bounds & Neil Logan, Co-CEO’s.
Well done to Tiana on this remarkable milestone in her career.
