Episode 13
The construction of a new Marae at Mahitahi / Bruce Bay. on the West coast of the South Island, where the Te Tauaka Waka a Maui Marae looks directly at the Tasman Sea. Bruce Bay was where Maui first landed in New Zealand from Hawaii and the marae bears his name in commemoration of this feat. He then traversed the South Island before fishing up the North Island.
Through the work of some of New Zealand's most exciting new architectural talent, we look at the new directions Maori architecture is taking as we head into the twenty-first century. We visit:- Te Puia School of Maori Arts & Crafts, Rotorua/ Maori TV building, Auckland/ Te Tauraka Waka a Maui, West Coast/ Tane Whakapiripiri, Auckland/ Alfriston College, Auckland.
