Showcase

Nature for Nurture, Primary School

My MArch(Prof) thesis explores how a community can herald a new path for children through utilising the built environment. This was achieved through a design process that is driven through the mauri of water, resulting in a built environment that acts as the bridge to learning and the power of the land. In turn, this process fosters a primary school that is nurturing, bicultural and innovative.
