Why
Echoing the Place proposal of PDC, we aim to explore the role of Place in the context of Tāmaki Makaurau and its influence in participatory and co-design approaches. Place influences our identity, our communities and our hauora (well-being).
We want to foster connections between UoA Design students, the Auckland Council through the Auckland Co-design Lab and local organisations and communities transforming their realities through being whānau centred (people, environment and place) / bottom-up initiatives. How could we, together, care for whakapapa and our place through design and social innovation?
“Tuia ki te rangi, tuia ki te whenua, tuia ki te moana, tuia te here tangata. Ka rongo te ao, ka rongo te pō. Tihei Mauriora”
(Bound to the sky, the land, the sea and each other are the innate obligations of humankind. Our world waxes and wanes, contracts and expands. Be the change our world needs)
