This is a platform for sharing new ideas, aspirations and great examples of Māori design from across Tāmaki Makaurau.
Waitakere Civic Centre
We’ll be working with Mana Whenua, Ngā Aho, a collective of Māori design professionals, and other partners, to develop the articles. The conversations will build on the principles set out in Te Aranga Māori Cultural Landscape Strategy and focus on enhancing design in Tāmaki Makaurau, as well as exploring emerging Māori design practices and processes.

Kia ora Wati,
Te Aranga Principles were first published on the Auckland Design Manual in Sept 2013. However, prior to 2013, the principles were already being formally applied to the development of the Auckland Transport’s City Rail Link (CRL) project in 2012. Originally, the principles were developed at a hui that included, the Ministry for the Environment and Te Puni Kōkiri, a collective of Māori professionals working across the design disciplines, the resource management sector and representatives of iwi/hapū organisations from across Aotearoa/New Zealand. The first gathering was at Waitākere in June 2006 and then in November the same year at Te Aranga Marae in Flaxmere. The objective was to discuss and formulate a draft National Māori Cultural Landscape Strategy. The resultant Te Aranga Māori Cultural Landscape Strategy represented the first concerted and cohesive effort by Māori to articulate Māori interests and design aspirations in the built environment. There has been ongoing mana whenua engagement in Tāmaki from 2008 until the present, this has occurred both in formal hui and in informal meetings with iwi reps.
