2024 Waikato/Bay of Plenty Architecture Awards Winner

Whare Mīmīrū

Whare Mīmīrū adds to the commentary on pre-colonial structures of Aotearoa. An example of research-led design, this temporary post-tensioned structure represents community-led architecture beyond the library and laboratory of a conventional university. This is research activated on marae, utilising hapū as a builder. The knowledge was co-created and dissipated through kōrero, empowering hapū as mātauranga researchers. Whare Mīmīrū offers possibilities to how we might build resilient post-tensioned timber housing in the future.
