Description

The Spatial Ecologies Lab is an interfaculty research initiative collaboratively hosted by the School of Architecture and the School of Design. It serves as a dynamic platform for advanced exploration of environmental and spatial challenges, combining the strengths of both disciplines. The Lab supports research candidates at Master's and PhD levels, fostering interdisciplinary inquiry that bridges architectural, ecological , and design perspectives.

The Spatial Ecologies Lab exhibtion presents an exploration of architecture, art, and design, in a series of projects that examine our relationship with the built and natural world.

Drawing from the greater Wellington region, the works originate from intensive fieldwork, embracing the tactile, audible and and visual materialities of the environment. Through innovative methods these projects challenge static interpretations of the natural environment.

 

Freddie Cross Considering a 4D Site Model
In recent years the field of architectural site analysis has evolved significantly, driven by advancements in drone technology and data processing capabilities. Drone based 4D site modelling can provide nuanced understanding of sites, tracking temporal shifts and environmental changes that are critical for resilient architectural design.

Yufan Chen Looking at Depth
The visual novel is a type of game that takes the form of digital interactive fiction. visual novels usually use fixed illustrations, this research explores using a changing Depth of Field to enhance immersion in the visual novel.

 

Jie Jin Extended Performance
Street performances are an essential part of urban culture, fostering community and social interaction ans reflecting the artistic pulse of a city while serving as a catalyst for cultural exchange. This research explores the transformative potential of Augmented Reality (AR) technologies to enhance the street performance experience.

 

Mitchell Johnson Echoes in Synaesthesia
Integrating fluctuating natural elements - such as sound noise and light - into architectural design may not only improve sensory experiences but also challenge traditional boundaries between built structures and the environment.

 

Calvin Molina p:k Eco-Systemicity
'p:k' has a goal to revive the human's position in the natural ecosystem through design strategies, currently focusing on food fermentation.

Print OnSITE is a group show featuring the work of Toi Rauwhārangi, College of Creative Arts students, from Massey University.

This exhibition celebrates Te Whanganui a Tara, Wellington, through the medium of Textile Design. It showcases surface pattern as a means of observing and analyzing the urban environment.

Students travel from all over the country to study at Massey; with many exhibitors new to Te Whanganui a Tara, this exhibition documents how they have connected to the city. Observing and engaging with the capital through several perspectives, but fundamentally through drawing, with walking and drawing framed as a mode of encounter with the world around us.

Sketches of the inner city were then developed through sublimation printing and digital, hand-painted and collage processes.

The exhibition Print OnSITE presents a range of textile and ceramic tile designs that celebrate the inner city's rich diversity through color, texture, pattern, mark, and movement.

Tūmanako! (Hope!) is a yearly art exhibition for children and young people to express their hopes for an inclusive Aotearoa where all lives are valued, and to support a nuclear-free world. In times of conflict and division, Tūmanako! helps them learn about the root causes of violence and encourages peace.

Organised by SGINZ and supported by Wellington City Council, the exhibition was opened at Johnsonville Library Waitohi in August and is now coming to the city to be displayed across two neighbouring galleries: Thistle Hall Community Gallery and Te Whare Manaaki o Toda peace gallery - come and visit them both!

This year’s theme is inspired by a whakataukī:

Kotahi te kākano whakaaro, he nui ngā hua o te rākau houhou rongo.
One seed of thought grows the forest of peace.

Opening Hours
Tuesday - Sunday: 9am -6pm
Description

This event is part of the Aotearoa Festival of Architecture, by Te Kāhui Whaihanga New Zealand Institute of Architects.

When Kaikoura shook, photographer Andy Spain got Wellington's list of earthquake prone buildings and started photographing them. The idea of fixing time became appealing, as many of the buildings were demolished. When asked to exhibit them together however, Andy began to ask what these remnants meant.

He visited the petals saved from Athfield's church of First Church of Christ Scientist and saw their fragility. He talked to architects about remedial work which never saw the light of day.

What were the consequences of all these traces existing in a time when the fates of many Wellington buildings are so contested? Where heritage competes with social housing, which competes with sustainable reuse, and so on.

So, this exhibition is not about the photographs that have been taken, or the drawings drawn, or the artworks saved. It is about how we decide to use these remnants, and what stories we want them to tell.

 

 

PUBLIC TALK - A Rather Queer Cuba Street

Saturday 28 September, 1 - 2pm


Cuba Street has a long history of being home to a diversity of businesses and organisations related to Takatāpui Rainbow+ communities. From the Club Exotique strip club, to the Royal Oak hotel, to Jacquie Grant’s pet shop with the masturbans monkey. While most of these establishments don’t exist anymore, some of the buildings still do – echoing a very queer past. Join the team from PrideNZ for a virtual 1-hour walk up Cuba Street, stepping into sometimes imaginary doorways, to hear first-hand stories told with voices from the PrideNZ audio collection.

Opening Hours
Tuesday - Sunday: 11am - 6pm
Description

For 25 years Stantiall's Studio have created architectural perspectives and illustrations. Initially on watercolour board from a traditional set up until the advent of computers, these works enable architects, urban designers and the construction sector to visualise proposed building, urban and landscape projects.  Celebrating this milestone the Directors Ian Stantiall and Chrissy Hill, are mounting an exhibition from this body of commissioned work, alongside pieces from their own collections, featuring ink and wash sketches, mono prints and oil on canvas.

Ian’s early architectural practice has influenced his personal works with a focus on structure and landscape. Chrissy’s observational studies on canvas  reflect the built environment with her take on urban neighbourhoods realised through patterns and colour.

In curating In Perspective - together & apart we have used the analogy of perspective, vanishing point and converging lines to reflect the two of us being together but also apart (and into infinity).

A Dark Sky Reserve is an internationally recognised area for viewing and protecting the night skies. Aotearoa is home to five of these celestial realms allowing us to see into the darkness.

I have always been drawn to wild, remote places where earth, ocean, and sky integrate and overwhelm the senses. It’s a visceral thing, embedded deep in the DNA I share with my Scottish ancestors.

These paintings are a kind of portal into those worlds that I hold in my memory and my heart.

As a 24-year-old woman navigating the complexities of life and the journey of growing up, I have found that mixed media art provides me with a powerful means to creatively delve into and visualize the various challenges I encounter.

Through my art, I explore deeply personal and societal issues such as; sexism, navigating friendships and relationships, grappling with mental health, and coping with the inevitable struggles and transformations that life brings.

Each art piece I have created in INDVDL serves as a visual narrative; capturing the nuances and emotions of these experiences, offering both a cathartic outlet for myself and a way to provoke thought and conversation among viewers.

Tuesday - Sunday: 10am - 6pm daily
Description

STRANGE HOME presents creative architectural experiments in the strangeness of home. Master’s students from Te Herenga Waka, Victoria University of Wellington, were invited to record strange, everyday, absurd aspects of home and distill these observations as architectures of strangeness.

Students looked at detailed miniature events that make up a particular aspect of home life, such as navigating a dark corridor in the middle of the night, from bedroom to bathroom, the tangled forms of bedclothes during a restless sleep—or explorations of home’s more-than-human aspects: dynamics of lost keys, record collections, the spatial movements of house pets. They used creative practice techniques—drawing, modelling and writing—to distill the strangeness of these worlds into speculative, strange homes. The work presents unique views on home, how it might be understood, or even intentionally misunderstood, if home’s strangeness was given free reign.
