Terry Cheng from Waipapa Taumata Rau, The University of Auckland, Te Pare School of Architecture and Planning is a finalist for his project 'Hearts and Minds'.
Project description
Science points to a future that simultaneously expects too much and too little water. Hearts and Minds reframes water as a metaphor for understanding climate change and sea-level rise. In the Waitakere Ranges, three typologies reimagine how life might dramatically change in 500 years.
A decentralised, scalable, community-focused water management system is proposed as a means of climate resilience. This speculative design project blurs the line between real and unreal possibilities.
