DUE TO THE NEW UNDERGROUND TUNNEL, LIMITATIONS TO BUILDING WEIGHT RESTRICT THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE NORTHWEST PORTION OF THE SITECREATING AN OPPORTUNITY TO REINSTATE 1400m2 OF NATIVE KERERU HABIT. TE PARIRAU WILL BECOME A STEPPING STONE FOR KERERU AND OTHER NATIVE SPECIES BETWEEN MAUNGAWHAU MOUNTAIN AND CENTRAL AUCKLAND CITY.
THE ADDED BENEFIT OF INCREASING KERERU HABITAT IS THE DEVELOPMENT OF MITIGATING LAND FEATURES, HELPING TO REDUCE FLOODING ALONG THE SOUTHERN END OF THE SITE AND THE WIDER AREA.

THE MAIN CIRCULATION OF THE BUILDING RUNS ALONG THE SPINE. THESE ENTRY AND EXIT POINTS INTERSECT WITH THE AREAS IDENTIFIED IN SITE CIRCULATION, ENSURING SMOOTH FLOW THROUGH THE BUILDING AND THE SITE. TO ACHIEVE A CONNECTION BETWEEN ALL AGE GROUPS, DESIGN FOR ACCESSIBILITY MUST BE INCORPORATED INTO THE DESIGN, PROVIDING ACCESS TO ALL PEOPLE. ALL TIERS REMAIN GROUNDED TO THE OUTSIDE WORLD, PROVIDING SAFETY FOR DISABLED PERSONS IN THE EVENT OF FIRE AND CREATING CIRCULATION BETWEEN THE BUILT ENVIRONMENT AND THE NATIVE LANDSCAPE. AMENITIES HAVE BEEN DESIGNED FOR ALL PERSONS AS PER THE AUCKLAND DESIGN MANUAL AND BUILDING CODE ACROSS EACH LEVEL OF THE BUILDING.

HAPORI I RARO I TE PARIRAU O TE KERERU
COMMUNITY UNDER THE WING OF THE KERERU Everyone is different; we are all unique. We have different values, visions, and dreams. From my experience, despite this, joy and happiness come from growing up together. In this journey, we all go through life from tamariki (child) rangatahi (youth) to kaumatua (aged); our aspirations grow organically as we age and interact with the world around us. Te Parirau started with the ambition of regenerating Uptown and creating a catalyst for change. This goal Why would I tell you this? Well... this project, Te was then shaped by the idea that nothing can exist Parirau, has developed from an accumulation of in isolation; simply, everything affects everything. research, site investigation, value systems like the Te Aranga principles of design, Maori ora living, Sure, the idea of Te Parirau was birthed from my pillars the uptwon community, like ‘grow differ- own thinking. But would it be the same without the ently together’, peer review, and my internal val- group research we did as a team? The site visits we ues. All these ‘bits and bobs’ have been intertwined took as a class? The times I bounced ideas off family to produce Hapori i raro i te parirau o te Kereru. and peers? Would it have developed as much withBirds are incredible. Through instinct, they fly around searching for twigs, bits and bobs, which they return to the tree they call home. They weave these parts into a nest where a tiny egg is protected, nurtured, and kept warm until it peaks its beak through its cosy cave. It’s then fed fruit from the local grocer, the forest canopy. Until it’s ready to leave the nest, and the cycle starts again.

out the guidance of my tutors? Maybe. I think not. This strategy for Uptown started as a seed. Through connection with the world and the people around me, that seed has flourished into something more meaningful. I could not have achieved this in isolation. Te Parirau is about connection, tapping people’s imagination and giving them the facilities and opportunity to shine. We are all different, but we can grow together. Life is short; let’s help each other seize the moment and take flight.
