William Atkinson-Moses D.O.B 26.05.2003 Phone: 027 476 3560 Email: wills.atkinsonmoses@gmail.com Throughout my academic journey, I have nurtured a profound passion for art and a keen inclination towards problem-solving.

It was only natural for me to pursue a career in architecture, as it perfectly aligns with my interests. Since embarking on this path, I have developed a deep fascination for our built environment and, more importantly, how we can shape it to meet the needs of the future.

My aspiration is to join a dynamic team of professionals where I can contribute my knowledge while continuously learning from experienced individuals in the field. I thrive in collaborative settings, valuing the exchange of ideas and the power of collective intelligence. By working alongside diverse minds, I believe we can unlock unparalleled potential for innovation within the architectural realm.

Te Papa Tongarewa Course: Arci312 Location: Wellington Waterfront, Wellington

This design report proposes a building concept aimed at stimulating visitor exploration from the moment they enter. Central to this vision is the strategic placement of the Marae and Mana Whenua areas within the main atrium, transforming them into focal points that capture immediate attention. The main atrium serves as a hub, guiding visitors through the building and offering an inviting, well-lit space. Exhibitions are located in shaded areas whereas the venue spaces and bush areas experience the full warmth provided by the sun. As well as the celebration of spaces, structure is vividly on display. I wanted to express wood in all its forms to highlight how a light material can be strong. The use of LVL diagrids, Glulam beams and CLT flooring all combine to create a seamless structure that is appealing to the eye. Finally the peaks clearly show an entrance and ‘summit’ point guiding visitors to the important areas of the building also further enhanced by wide circulation paths and accessible lifts/stairs.

“ A R C H I V E S ” Aotearoa Archives Course: Arci312 Location: Aitken St, Wellington

Aotearoa is the Maori name for New Zealand. The word is made from three words, Ao tea and roa.

Ao meaning cloud, daytime or world. Tea meaning white, clear or bright. Roa meaning long or tall.

“Land of the Long White Cloud”.

Its meaning can be found in a mythological story about the great adventurer Kupe. When Kupe was nearing land after a long voyage, his first sign that he was near the island was a peculiar cloud looming over it. Kupe drew attention to it “Surely this is a point of land”. His wife Hine-te-aparangi, called out “He ao! He ao!” (Meaning: A cloud!, A cloud!). Kupe decided to name the land after his wife’s greeting to it, Aotea.

James Oakley Wilson, 1966. (teara.govt.nz) The name Aotea was initially given to Great Barrier and the North Island, but later on became Aotearoa likely due to the combined islands length.

At the core of my design for the Aotearoa Archives Building lies a profound representation of New Zealand’s rich cultural and natural heritage, symbolised by the iconic imagery and meaning of Aotearoa – the long white cloud.

Incorporating clouds as a symbolic motif, I have drawn parallels to the idea of natural guidance and navigation. Much like a cloud’s presence, this building is forever looming day and night, representing a continuously accessible space. Just as clouds are ever-changing, so too is the Archives Building, offering a range of diverse environments to accommodate both people and historical materials, mirroring the dynamic nature of the cloud itself.

Office Building Course: Arci321 Location: Molesworth St, Wellington

The planned construction of 55 Molesworth Street in Pipitea, Wellington, entails a 10-story building that will serve as a versatile blend of apartments and office spaces. The structure’s foundation will be reinforced with concrete shear walls, while the main framework will consist of steel beams and columns. The building’s design includes an underground parking facility and a retail/hospitality section on the ground level, followed by four floors dedicated to offices and an additional five floors allocated for apartments.

Shelly Bay Library Course: Arci212 Location: Shelly Bay, Wellington

The Shelly Bay library project positioned on the boat ramp is designed to incorporate the old with the new. The boat ramp has heavily influenced the form and through mass amounts of development the library has come to a refined form. This form develops on top of the previous design with the main change being the removal of the pods which created an imbalance in the grid, as the clashed with the vertical language of the main space.

The new design shows off how structure can be shown and I’m really happy with how it has come together.

L O N G This long section drawing details the inside of the designed Shelly Bay library. The library design focused on using existing site parameters and evolving a shape around it.

Through an extensive design development a structure was formed.

The design has a wooden ribbed skeleton reinforced by UB beams. This is then insulated and covered in QBT-450 cladding.

E L E V A T I O N Clearly shown in this elevation are the rear entrance/exit and the window slits. The entrance point has a verandah which has an extended structure which continues the design outside of its floor plan.

The window slits provide a small amount of light, though not too much to damage books and make it uncomfortable to inhabit.
