Catching the Wave

The Centre for Creative and Practices

This project is situated at Shelly Bay in Miramar, Wellington, and proposes a bold programme that would bring together VUW’s programmes of Fine Arts (Creative Practice), Architecture, Creative Writing, Dance, Design, Film and Theatre. The aim of this project is to design a major urban gesture that would enhance access routes and the development of a public pedestrian wharf connecting Miramar Avenue to the selected site. As a new creative hub for Wellington and an epicentre for the cultural life of the capital, the new complex is to be a utopian vision of arts integration, meeting its spatial requirements and housing an institution that will foster innovation, research, collaboration, creativity, and education in the arts.
