Fourth Excercise: Under and Over - DEIDRE BROWN - First Part (History)

“In this module, you will create an architecture inspired by the site conditions of your present location. We might be living in bubbles now, and feeling constrained, but those bubbles sit within wider architectural, environmental and geological contexts and are subject to the rhythms of daily, annual, and millennial activity. Great architecture often relates to or challenges site contexts through design and an associated narrative. You have already created new designs and explained them in earlier crits. This module extends this practice to a site that you are already getting to know well through the current lock down situation.”  - Deidre Brown

History of Existing Site:

During the lock down I was able to get back to my family home in Whanganui. It was really exciting to learn we were doing an exercise based on the site in our own bubbles because I love our grand old villa and the beautiful surrounds of Whanganui and the Whanganui River. 

I will just give a brief history of my house before moving on to the Whanganui River which is significant in terms of the wider geological space around my house. This villa was built in 1898 and was owned by A.D. Wills, the proprietor of the local newspaper - the Whanganui Chronicle. Since Whanganui was one of the first cities to be built in New Zealand, my house has some definite historical significance. The land was previously native bush with groves of karaka surrounding a historical Ridge Pa but was cleared right down to the banks of the river causing the landscape to change, having free views and a lot of space for gardens etc. The house sits at the bottom of the Bastia Hill on the floodplains but is located so as to not be susceptible to flooding. 

The Whanganui River, at 290-km is the second longest river in the North Island. It springs from the north-west of Mt Tongariro and travels to the Tasman Sea at Whanganui. It is home to Te Āti Haunui-a-Pāpārangi, a confederation of three ancestral groups, the Whanganui Iwi tribes. The Whanganui River is the iwi’s ancestral river and a source of physical and spiritual sustenance. 

During the early 19th century there was inter-tribal fighting on the river, the lower river Maori assaulted the upriver Pai Marire tribe at Moutoa Island, 61 km north of the town. Today the total river population is less than 1000 since many Maori found work within Whanganui City however the river is sacred and will always be the most important part of Whanganui which means ‘big bay’ or ‘big harbour’ on account of the size and majesty of the river.

Whakahoroban kenura váltottunk, ugyanis egy szakaszon itt nincs út, csak a folyó. Három napot evezni a maorik szent folyóján, amit a Whanganui Nemzeti Park esőerdeje vesz körül, óriási élmény és igazi felüdülés volt. #touraotearoa #swithfrombiketocanoe #whanganuiriver #luckilydownstream #whanganuinationalpark #teawatupua #thesacredriver #többazúgómintadunán #mégseborultunk (helyszín: Whanganui River) https://www.instagram.com/p/B56QI-NHLYV/?igshid=10bz34gms5nqd

Koriniti Marae. The Whanganui River runs between Tongariro National Park and the coastal town of Whanganui, where the mountain waters meet the Tasman Sea. The river can be navigated by boat or kayak, but the small and winding Whanganui River Road may be equally magical. The road runs 64 km through hills and jungle-like forest. Alternating between panoramic views high above the water and small Maori settlements by the river banks. We found this beautiful wood carving in Koriniti Marae. #patternsoftravel #pattern #travel #whanganuiriver #koriniti #newzealand #red #woodcarving #maori #marae #koru (at Koriniti, New Zealand) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bp_qfPdB_fu/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=kzhq4zkf5l0y
