It's a Journey

Whakapapa, the ontological and epistemological influence it has, guides me to honour the whakaaro of my tūpuna in the way I work as a designer, in order to create better futures for my mokopuna. This sets me up to create meaningful connections and forge strong, equitable, and impactful solutions, that design with people, not for them. Whakapapa forces us to think in ways that are in contradiction with western intuition. As designers, it requires us to shift away from being the perpetuators of resource exploitation and promulgators of mass consumerism. Instead, it requires us to be kaitiaki of the future.

Whakapapa in CoDesign

The proposed installation looks into providing students with individual spaces to be their cocoon. These spaces allow students to use their electronic devices to study, make video calls and relax. The design idea offers small pods attached to the atrium columns with different shapes and colours. As the design works primarily with the columns, it could easily be applicable to the other levels.
