Book Description
The Māori worldview, deeply rooted in indigenous New Zealand culture, shapes how architectural design is conceptualised, executed, and experienced. It is a holistic perspective that interweaves spiritual, cultural, and environmental dimensions, resulting in architecture that reflects the Māori connection to the land, ancestors, and the spiritual realm. What type of unique building, house, landmark, chapel, church, marae, or shade space would you design to reflect and represent your worldview? I am referring to symbolism-related shapes, forms, patterns, and colours. What would be the main shapes and forms you will use to convey your worldview in a building? In this short eBook, I explore a Māori worldview and architecture in a New Zealand context. I briefly look at other worldviews for architectural design.
