2024 Wellington Architecture Awards Winner
Te Āhuru Mōwai Vision Framework
This living document represents an extensive research and co-design process encompassing a breadth of considerations – from landscape dynamics to socio-economic factors – and demonstrates profound consideration for the individuals it directly impacts. The project provides a roadmap to wellbeing for communities in Porirua, with access to quality housing and urban development grounded in te ao Māori principles. A central part of the co-design process was the innovative use of personas, placing individuals and their diverse needs squarely at the heart of planning decisions. A range of opportunities are described through approachable graphics that draw on wholistic concepts of wellbeing, sustainability and circular economies. This human-centric approach promotes inclusivity and fosters a deeper understanding of the intricate fabric of the communities it serves.
