Il progetto ACT, sviluppato dalla Cook University di Townsville, in Australia, aiuta i bambini che hanno subito degli abusi. L’architettura si ispira agli edifici del campus realizzati dall’architetto James Birrell negli anni Sessanta. Alcuni sono di cemento a vista, con geometrie semplici e forme plastiche. Il progetto ha un perimetro di blocchi di cemento. Le stanze per le terapie sono organizzate attorno al giardino – seguendo i principi secondo cui la natura ha effetti benefici sulla terapia.

Il nuovo progetto sviluppa in modo nuovo l’approccio di Birrell. Le sue costruzioni sono di dimensioni e massa adatte al ruolo di grandi edifici pubblici. Il nuovo progetto indaga le possibili nuove forme di asilo per bambini e per tutte le altre persone bisognose di aiuto. L’edificio parte dalla poetica di Birrell e con altre geometrie e mezzi crea un equilibrio tra stabilità e piacere.
