Exploring Te Aranga design principles in Tāmaki

Jacqueline Paul

Abstract – Tuhinga Whakarāpopoto

Te Aranga Design Principles are a cultural landscape strategy/approach to design thinking and making which incorporates a series of Māori cultural values and principles. This study strives towards a better understanding of the principles, and how they apply in developing policy and design for residential development in the Tāmaki Area. This study also suggests how the principles can be embedded through procurement, and develops a framework to translate them into the design process and contracts for the Tāmaki Regeneration Company.
