Selected Project
Wintec Hamilton CBD Campus Hub
Redevelopment of WINTEC's central campus in Hamilton presented a unique design challenge. WINTEC'S brief required architecture and landscape to be fully integrated, creating an environment which engaged and inspired existing students, and encouraged new enrolments. The redevelopment is based on the theory of a 'total learning environment', where learning is not restricted to hardware and books within buildings, but instead forms a key component of the built structures and landscape setting. Innovative techniques make this information legible and accessible to a new generation. It was an opportunity to drive the same concepts through both architecture and landscape aspects of the design. A concept of binding and weaving was used to draw materials, forms and imagery through and around both elements.
