Today we were introduced to the Te Aranga Design Principals. They are a set of outcome-based principles founded on Māori cultural values and formulated to provide practical guidance for enhancing outcomes for the design environment.
- Rangatiratanga: The right to exercise authority and self determination within ones own iwi / hapū realm
- Kaitiakitanga: managing and conserving the environment as part of a reciprocal relationship, based on the Māori world view that we as humans are part of the natural world.
- Mauritanga: maintaining the life force to ensure the Environment is protected, maintained or revitalised Environmental health is protected, maintained and / or
- Manaakitanga: the ethic of holistic hospitality whereby mana whenua have inherited obligations to be the best hosts they can be
- Wairuatanga: the immutable spiritual connection between people and their environments
- Kotahitanga: unity, cohesion and collaboration
- Whanaungatanga: a relationship through shared experiences and working together which provides people with a sense of belonging
- Mātauranga: Māori / mana whenua knowledge and understanding
When submitting planning permission to the Auckland city council design principles need to be taken into account and have to be up-to a certain standard, this is especially so the case when it comes to public submissions.
We have been tasked with ensuing that we adhere and take note of these design guidelines and apply their thinking, values and beliefs to proposed intervention.
