2023 Auckland Architecture Awards Winner
Camera Obscura -Timatatanga Hou
This project establishes a unique urban dialogue with Whangārei’s Te Matau ā Pohe bridge on the Hātea River. The sculpted steel form recalls the bow of a ship and speaks to a maritime history, while artwork draped across the form illustrates local Māori history and tradition. The mollusc-like shell draws visitors into the cavernous space, eventually giving way to the inverted projection of movement and the sound of vehicles using the bridge. Dedication, aroha, commitment and generosity define this project so kindly gifted to the people of Whangārei.
