Connecting two sides of our great harbour is critical in itself, but what happens when we ask more of a "simple" path?
Te Ara Tupua is more than a way to get from A-B, it connects people to the identity of Te Whanganui a Tara. With a focus on enduring relationships for mana whenua and community, Te Ara Tupua has encouraged the land to expressive itself once more. A shared walking and cycling path, this project tells the stories of our harbour edge and its ecology, whilst simultaneously improving resilience, encouraging diverse user experience, and resolving a parade of technical challenges. It reminds us that good infrastructure is worth sustained celebration.
November's City Talks panel will discuss Te Ara Tupua's formation and how all its various threads were carefully woven together to deliver the project we experience today.
Panel includes:
• (Chair) Kedron Parker - Communications Designer, Multi-media Artist
• Sean Burke, Principal - Isthmus
• Andrew Kennedy, Project Director - Tonkin + Taylor
• Lee Hunter - Taranaki Whanui
• Andrew Kennedy - Representing the Alliance
Guests are invited to stay afterwards for nibbles and drinks at Āta Restaurant.
City Talks is an ongoing lecture series by the Wellington branch of Te Kahui Whaihunga / New Zealand institute of architects. Going for over a decade, City Talks has been bringing thought provoking presentations from a diverse range of speakers on a wide range of topics related to the built environment. Novembers talk has been made possible with the help our collaborators at the New Zealand Institute of Landscape Architects (NZILA) and Ithmus, as well as our City Talks sponsor Resene.
