Cultural Integration in Architecture: Bridging Communities - A New Zealand Perspective

Please register to attend this event which will be delivered in two parts:

Part 1: The Annual General Meeting (AGM) where we will be announcing the voting results for the 2023-2024 AHDC committee members. 

Part 2: An interesting presentation on the Palmerston North Hospital Campus, New Zealand, where we delve into the profound significance of integrating cultural aspects of a community into the architectural design process.

New Zealand, with its rich Maori culture, offers a poignant example of how cultural integration can shape and enrich our built environment. However, this approach is not exclusive to New Zealand and can be translated in an Australian context, emphasising the importance of incorporating the cultural knowledge and considerations of the First People, fostering unity, respect, and a deep connection to the land.
