    Community Development and Climate Adaptation:

     

    Te Ara-rata-re Māngere, Auckland

     


     

    This is an interdisciplinary architecture/landscape architecture Design Studio. The collaborative process gives you an opportunity to exchange skills, share experiences and discuss complementary views, creating a process closer to professional reality.

    The project will be broken into two halves. The first half (Term 1) will be devoted to developing an urban masterplan for Māngere with  the Māngere community. Two important consideration of the masterplan will be that it is  both resilient to the effects of climate change and provide better housing. This part of the project will be developed in a collaboration between architecture and landscape architecture students.

    The second 6 weeks (Term 2) will be devoted to exploring the consequences of the masterplan for the design of a residential building and a public space.
