Aim<\/h3>\n

The aim of this project is to explore the capacity of spatial design to create, facilitate, or amplify the emotional resonance<\/strong> of a space and the creative or performative activities that occur within it. Site, including both its spatial and historical conditions, is considered as a major driver of resonant spatial experience. Beginning with a close reading of site, the existing architectural, narrative and atmospheric conditions of a site are understood as materials themselves. These can be manipulated or transformed through practices of adaptive reuse, which may also introduce new materials, narratives and atmospheres to rewrite and offer new readings.<\/p>\n

Ihi & wehi<\/h3>\n

This project also examines the themes of ihi and wehi<\/strong> associated with the creative process and as a driver to address the intangible resonance within creative practices. It presents an acknowledgement that design is so much more than the sum of its component physical parts.<\/p>\n

Ihi and wehi are complementary terms associated with emotional and psychological behaviour. Ihi can be described as an individual\u2019s essential force, charisma, power or charm \u2013 which emanates throughout the creative process. Wehi, on the other hand, highlights the internalised feelings that occur in response to ihi.\u00a0 <\/span>Sometimes the terms dread or awe are commonly used to describe wehi. In this context, wehi is taken to mean the emotional response on the part of the observer.<\/i><\/p>\n

How does your work make you feel? How does the work of others make you feel?\u00a0 <\/span>What effects, intentional or unintentional, does it provoke or generate? What energy or resonance<\/strong> does your work have for others?<\/i><\/p>\n

Context<\/h3>\n

The Great Hall of the Dominion Museum will soon be returned to Massey to be used as a multifunctional gathering\/event space and gateway to the Pukeahu campus – a heart for Massey\u2019s creative arts community and a place to interface with the public. This is an opportunity to reimagine the way that the space is used.<\/span><\/p>\n

Project brief<\/strong><\/p>\n

We will be using the original Great Hall of the Old Dominion Museum (Block 10)\u00a0 <\/span>– historically used as the M\u0101ori Hall – as our site. The brief is to propose an adaptive reuse of the Hall, developing a new spatial fit-out or system that offers a flexible multi-use space for Massey\u2019s Creative Arts community. You will work in groups and also be expected to produce deliverables for individual assessment.<\/p>\n

Resources<\/strong><\/p>\n

A full version of the project brief including learning outcomes and assessment criteria can be found here –\u00a0224.258_Ass1 2019_brief<\/a>\u00a0– and also on Stream.<\/p>\n

Weekly updates and deliverables will be posted on the blog below.<\/p>\n

WEEK 1<\/b><\/div>\n

Adaptive Reuse Scenario<\/b>
\n<\/b>This is an adaptive reuse project and therefore deals with an existing building that is considered to be reused for a different purpose than its original design was intended for. Block 10, aka The Old Museum Building, was originally the location of Te Papa Tongarewa (the National Museum of New Zealand and formerly the Dominion Museum) and was redesigned and refurbished from 1997-2000 to house the College of Creative Arts. In 2014, parts of the building was given over to house the WW1 Exhibition which is due to be closed at the end of 2018. The college is now reconsidering how Block 10 – the Old Museum Building can be better and more effectively used once it takes possession of its entirety again from 2019 onwards. This project looks specifically at how a spatial intervention into the Great Hall (the large space in the centre of the building) can effectively become the ‘Heart’ of the student and staff community of Block 10 and 11, and further function as\u00a0 a ‘front’ (public face and entrance) for Wellington City. You will also need to consider how the intervention can cater for a range of uses, including large gatherings, performances, a caf\u00e9, and teaching space.<\/span><\/p>\n

So you will design an intervention into the ‘Great Hall’ while also considering how this relates to the other parts of the building.<\/span><\/p>\n

Monday Wk1<\/b>
\n<\/b>9am: SITE ANALYSIS \/ SITE DOCUMENTATION <\/b>
\n<\/b>Get into groups (as prepared) and begin research and analysis of site. Allocate tasks within your group which involves 1) a site documentation including\u00a0 the making of a physical and a digital modeL, and 2) a presentation of the site analysis. The presentation needs to include:<\/span><\/p>\n
