Finalist – Jahmayne Robin-Middleton
Jahmayne Robin-Middleton from Victoria University of Wellington school of Architecture was highly commended for his project, ‘How to Prep a Hangi’.
Project description
The speculative vision developed in this research project is the result of collaboration with Kohupātiki, a small rural community based in Clive, Hawkes Bay. By establishing collaborative and consultative techniques especially tailored to the inhabitants, and through the expression of various architecture and landscape interventions, this speculative vision seeks to translate dreams and aspirations into productive measures that will improve the quality of the land and the lives of those that occupy it.
Citation
This excellently presented project is an exemplary model of sympathetic community engagement. Well-considered, meaningful research and respect for Māori design principles lay the groundwork for architectural solutions that could make a real difference to the lives of the families who live in a small settlement.
