EIT: Te Ūranga Waka

The EIT Te Manga Māori project required accommodation for administration offices, meeting areas, research space, and a main entry foyer and art gallery. The Whare Waka became the design driver, with the Waka a symbol of the learning journey. The Waka is expressed in the main foyer flooring and reflected in the lighting track above.

The creation of a symbolic gateway to the campus leads through the Whare Waka into a central courtyard. Building form, colours, materials, and programme relate to Māori architecture. The building is contemporary, with inflections specific to its use.
