Mana Whenua Design Forum
- Region
- New Zealand
In Auckland's Wynyard Quarter redevelopment, the Mana Whenua Design Forum brings together representatives of local iwi to review architectural proposals and share ancestral knowledge, guiding the project rather than imposing designs.
In Auckland's Wynyard Quarter revitalization, the Mana Whenua Design Forum acts as a vital cultural mediator between developers and the area's rich Māori heritage. This forum, composed of representatives from local iwi (tribes), reviews architectural proposals to ensure they honor the history and traditions of Aotearoa. Rather than imposing designs, they guide the process by sharing their deep knowledge, called pūrākau, about the area's past and its ancestral links.
