Introduction

Tract is a yearbook for the Master by Project programme at the Unitec Institute of Technology, New Zealand. The MbP Programme was begun eight years ago to offer design practitioners, architects and landscape architects, the chance to carry out research by design. In 2015 the research work is concentrated on contemporary social and environmental issues in Auckland and Cambodia. Looking at the greater Auckland region, two students, Xinxin Wang and Alex Gao explored the implications of Auckland’s explosive growth. Xinxin Wang considered the impact of green belts in containing growth along the SH1 corridor. Alex Gao explored how sustainable housing could develop in Auckland coastal areas. Eloise Vebers focus was further North as she relocated New Zealand’s national museum to where it all began, at Paihia, in the Bay of Islands. Moving closer to the metropolis, students engaged with some of the critical issues that Aucklanders face everyday. Grace He examined how to make a more multi cultural space in the heart of Auckland. Meanwhile Terry Xu and Gemma Gao turned to the suburbs to pursue their research work. Terry explored the master planning of a brown field site in New Lynn while Gemma speculated on how Aucklands parks could be repurposed as disaster evacuation sites. Finally Raewyn Davie Martin and Rithy Heng explored how the remediation of urban wastewater can effect new planning for public space in Mt. Albert and Phnom Penh. Thanks to all the students who have joined our programme to carry out research. Thanks to the fantastic help we have had from our colleagues in academia and the profession at our workshops http://mlaunitec.blogspot.co.nz. Thanks to my colleague and studio master, Professor Mike Austin. But most of all thanks to the supervisors team, Nikolay Popov, Hamish Foote, Penny Clifen, Daniel Irving, Sue Wake, Kerry Francis, Peter Griffiths and Dushko Bogunovich. Lastly thanks to Dean Renee Davis for her unfailing support.

COAST The new coast: How can an environmentally sustainable coastal development be advanced? Alex Gao

How can we build an environmentally sustainable coastal zone for Auckland citys future development? Auckland city is rapidly developing, the population and housing requirements are growing fast. The city needs to build a lot of new urban space to satisfy the growing demand. Based on Aucklands geographic character, the coastal zone will be the most desirable growth location. Parts of the Auckland region coastal zone has already been developed for holiday housing. Some of these developments do not respect the local environment or improve the local economy. This study investigates the building of a new environmentally sustainable coastal zone as an alternative for Aucklands regional development.

The research is concerned with environmental protection and the development of future urban space. The research suggests that the coastal development should respect the local culture, unique lifestyle and local natural environment systems in planning a coastal development strategy. The research proposes a new sustainable coastal development methodology that has four parts. Firstly, the development of a sustainability criteria for site selection, secondly a sustainable development coastal zone plan, and thirdly the application of eco-tourism metrics as a driver for local economic development. The final part of the project suggests a regional development plan for improving the connectivity of surrounding settlements.

Take advantage of existing towns’ development, improving each settlement’s reception capability, and creating a new regional lifecycle.

New road connection system for improving each town’s links (specifically between Matakana and Pakiri, Whangateau and Pakiri).

Connections with Auckland and Whangarei (develop Pakiri region with Auckland and Whangarei to build relationships, sharing the large potential tourism market).

volcano Volcanic urbanism: an investigation into the role of public open spaces as disaster relief space.

Gemma Gao

Volcanic eruption is a risk for Aucklanders, we do not know when or where it could happen. Secondary hazards such as tsunami and earthquakes are also a real danger. The likelyhoodof these events is a catalyst for the research into planning for retreat zones in the city. The research suggests preparing evacuation sites based on existing open spaces before disasters happen. Evacuation management can make quick choices to help shelter people, this strategy can then help Auckland to become more resilient. Where are the possible zones for evacuation? GIS mapping (Geographic Information System) helps to select places that can meet the following criteria; MUL, public open space, away from tsunami danger zone, flat, close to roads, access to public transport, and close to hospitals).

Five sites were selected as the most suitable for evacuation sites. One of the sites, Cornwall Park, was chosen to test the model of a multifunctional park that can serve as an evacuation zone. Here the concept of multifunctional park is used to test for both emergency use and general use. The organisational methodology was developed from the case study of the Tokyo Disaster Prevention Park. Different programs can provide services in an emergency. Two new roads are proposed through the park to help access to the hospital and highway. Existing BBQ places can be used as communal kitchens, a new shower building was designed to provide facilities for people who exercise everyday as well as for displaced citizens during an emergency.

greenbelt Preserving a green space network for a regional Auckland Xinxin Wang

Auckland is facing an increasing population and ongoing urban expansion. The key problem for Auckland’s future development is: How can a green space network maintain the sustainable and resilient urban development of regional Auckland and preserve the unique Auckland lifestyle? As one of the most liveable cities in the world, Auckland is well–known for its clean, green environment and unique urban lifestyle. However, as Auckland expands along the SH1 corridor and becomes a regional city, the connection with nature tends to weaken. Not only have many green spaces been occupied by urban sprawl, but people’s traditional life style have changed dramatically. Facing an increase of one million people by 2040, it is very important to ensure that Auckland can accommodate the new urban population in an environmentally and socially sustainable way. To accomplish this goal the research project set out two sets of criteria: environmental and social. The environmental criteria were built through a GIS analysis of existing and potential green spaces. The social criteria were established from an Auckland lifestyle study.

Three case studies at various scales ranging from the regional to the local were developed. In the Regional Auckland study, environmental criteria were used to analyse areas along the SH1 growth corridor From Whangarei to Hamilton, six potential regional greenbelts where identified as buffer zones between urban development. One of the six greenbelts, the Walkworth-Silverdale Greenbelt, was chosen to show how environmental criteria could develop a park system at a local scale. In the third case study, Puhoi was used as case study. Social criteria was developed to shape Puhoi’s future urban structure and to help develop a Puhoi master plan to show how environmental and social criteria could be integrated. This research project suggests that preserving a green space network could not only offer Auckland a new regional park system, it also could identify more urban land for sustainable development with a high-quality lifestyle.

te papa Meeting at the Edge Eloise Veber

Public architecture in New Zealand seldom reflects the relationship we have with the foreshore. We are afraid to dominate the openness and interrupt the already powerful phenomena at play on the coast. We place humble structures at the edge; public toilets, baches, lighthouses, and lookouts. Disused jetties become repurposed viewing platforms from which we can guiltlessly explore the spatiality of the transition from land to sea. Yet architecture aside, New Zealanders have an undeniable attraction to the coast. As a nation bordering only oceans, natural activity at the edge has captured our attention and imagination since early settlement. Despite different cultural meanings, a love of our unique landscapes and wild oceans unites us. We are outward looking, obsessed by our edges. The meeting of the land and sea is a point of great energy and power that inspires and nourishes. We place our cityscapes around a waterfront boulevard, and flock to the edge instead of a town square.

This research project looks at two coastal museums as case studies: Te Papa Tongarewa - The Museum of New Zealand and the Museum of Anthropology in BC, Canada. These two museums are both situated on the water’s edge, in a place of transition from urban to natural, in situations where the local inhabitants have strong cultural connections to the land and sea. The studies look at the way the architecture of the museums reflects these aspects of the site in their contextual relationship, their form and the journey created for the user. In response, the research project proposes a new national museum for Aoteroa/New Zealand in Northland, on the site of the Copthorne Hotel at Waitangi in the Bay of Islands. The museum provides a place where Māori, non-Māori and tourists can gather, reflect on the past and imagine the future, and celebrate a profound love of the place where land and sea interact.

innercity Multiculturalism in the urban landscape: Creating a better city with multicultural Grace He

This research study explores the interconnection between multiculturalism, social integration and public space. Insights into these relationships were gained through fieldwork by observing the social activities of the different cultural communities in public spaces within the research site, Cook Street West. The study investigated the public’s perception and experiences based on the relationship between the Cook Street West residents and the

adjacent public space. By understanding the localised forms of social well-being in this highly diverse urban neighbourhood, a conceptual design framework was developed. This enabled the exploration of a new type of public place, that would help to support the healthy growth of Cook Street West- a unique ethno-cultural neighbourhood in Auckland City.

Public/open space Strategy:

Neutral ground

Community space strategy:

Public places can host various activities, promote a sense of community and help to develop and maintain cohesive social relationships (Saitta, 2012).

A home away from home

Public space – a neutral ground provides an opportunity to meet and exchange ideas with other people (Gregory. D. 2008), it has great potential to enable us to understand social plurality and thereby foster tolerance between different cultural backgrounds. (Saitta, 2012).

“The social processes that make spaces into places, with conflicts over access and control of space, and with the values and meanings people attach to place.” (Setha. L, Dana. T and Suzanne. S 2005). Most Cook Street west residents are living in the apartment blocks, each of them home for at least 1000 people. In a way, we can see those apartment complexes as small communities.

However, due to the existing situation in Cook Street west, apparently there are only very limited natural resources for improving the existing public spaces. In response to that, I am proposing to convert some of the existing parking spaces into a park; a park can be shared by people and cars. The scenario is to convert those inactive car-only spaces into a recreational green space, which would serve as a neutral ground that neighbours could meet and gather.

Movement strategy:

Connection and Multicultural Connection Connection and multicultural connection

Improve connectivity within the site and the surrounding area to connect neighbourhoods with wider context street elements. Upgrade the existing streets and footpaths to an appropriate standard for a relatively high use urban area. More street trees would be planted on each of the perimeter streets to provide better shuttles. Introduce a cycleway along Nelson Street and Cook Street to connect the existing cycleway network and the proposed Auckland City Council’s cycleway network.

Due to the existing nature of most of the apartments, a productive community garden could be introduced to deal with the existing situation, this could be retrofitted to the existing buildings to promote social interaction in this diverse neighbourhood and to achieve a sense of the togetherness. The community park forms the recreational, social and cultural heart of the apartment complexes. It would be used by the apartment residents and the friends they invite, and would allow for cultural expression through events and ceremonial use of the facilities. It is a good ground design to serve as a third place.

Integration strategy:

Togetherness Symbolic ways of communicating cultural meaning are an important dimension of place attachment that would be fostered to promote cultural diversity. The multi-language street signs are used in many countries; this is very common for the names of major world cities. In some regions, places and streets have names in all local languages. The street name normally holds historical meaning; multi-language street sign can enrich those meanings and become a bridge across cultures.

Introduce bus stop pocket parks to improve the existing poor bus stop situation. Introduce a pedestrian express walking path across the whole neighbourhood, reduce the waiting time at the traffic lights, improve the existing walking experience and make the road safer for the pedestrians. Introduce street walking parks along Cook Street to change the existing neighbourhood character of the cars and concrete occupied “motorway extension” to a pedestrian and greenery dominated “multicultural neighbourhood”.

Connection and Multicultural connection Cook Street west used to be one of the busiest streets in the CBD, it connected the car travellers from SH1 to SH16, which resulted in roads that were designed to stream heavy car traffic. The carriageway of this portion is around 20m wide with seven lanes and the footpath beside it which is less than 1m wide.

The carriageway of this road is around 20m wide, seven lanes with a 1m wide footpath. Due to the changed motorway layout, the connections were rearranged and car travellers didn’t need to exit at Cook Street anymore. The traffic volume in Cook Street West has been dramatically reduced. The proposed street design accomodates the rapid population growth in Cook Street West by making a new public space. This portion of the road would change from seven lanes to three lanes, creating an opportunity to fit a 12m wide middle of the road park to be used by residents, visitors and cyclists. This park would connect the apartment residents to City Works and the proposed parking park near Placemakers, it would also link to Victoria Park and Viaduct Harbour.

Limiting the supply of on-site parking was asked about in the Auckland Unitary Plan and improving the pedestrian and cycling environment by reducing the car use, especially in the Auckland CBD, is the goal of Auckland City Council’s future Cook Street west transformational plan. In response to that, I am proposing to convert some of the existing parking spaces into a park; a park can be shared by people and cars. The scenario is to convert those inactive car-only spaces into a recreational green space, which would serve as a neutral ground that neighbours could meet and gather. Two types of “neutral grounds” would be applied. The first is the recreational neutral ground – a parking park around the Placemakers area. At the moment the only purpose of this area is to park cars; this area is a dead space connecting to nowhere.

There are limited opportunities for improving the existing public spaces adjacent to Cook Street West.

By converting it into a parking park, people in the neighbourhood would use it as a park after work and during the weekend.

Grass parking technology would apply here to maximize the green and increase the flexibility of using the space. Cultural and social sustainability would be achieved here not only by providing the neutral ground where the community’s diverse character can be active and celebrated in the public, but also the engagement with exotic plants and elements would comfort the newcomers in the neighbourhood and help them smoothly through the adoption process by associating their past in their new community.

brownfield The sustainable landscape: brownfield site transformation Terry Xu

Auckland is growing rapidly, the Auckland Plan is promoting a compact city model as an urban response. This situation favours the redevelopment of brownfield sites in central areas of the city. These sites can be used to enable the provision of housing close to employment and public transport. This action can generate the commercial activities and public space needed to support new communities. This type of development has a strong potential for commercial gain in the current economic climate. Abandoned brownfield sites often cause a disconnection between neighbourhoods, and can have adverse effects on the environment through site contamination. This research project aims to reconcile the contradiction between Auckland’s population growth and the limitations of land supply. The use of brownfield sites have been identified as an option for supporting a sustainable development model.

with the Operations Manager, an evaluation of the potentials and constraints of the site was developed. Design testing was made with a range of options for the types of development. In this project, environment, economy and community aspirations were identified to achieve the goal of sustainable development. A healthy, safe and comfortable environment with a variety of functional considerations for development. Some of the criteria included; density and layout, mixed uses, urban open spaces, reutilisation of industrial buildings, conservation of landform features associated with past uses, restoration of hydrological patterns and associated vegetation configuration. Landscape interventions for building the relationships between the environment, economy and community are critical. All of the sustainable landscape design outcomes are visible and have the potential to encourage sustainable behaviour and awareness.

The design methodology draws on the literature around sustainability, liveability potentials, and a wide range of national and international case studies. Suitable criteria are developed to help in the selection of a suitable Auckland brownfield site. The area chosen is the old Crown Lynn pottery and brickworks site in New Lynn, (this site already has an existing council development proposal available for critique and comparison).

The proposed outcome of such a sustainable transformation aims to promote a nature and people prioritised environment for the development of a liveable community. The reflection and comparison with the existing New Lynn Urban Plan provide another perspective to demonstrate how a new sustainable community on a brownfield site could be developed in the New Zealand context.

wastewater Wastewater for the resilient 21st century City Raewyn Davie-Martin

The research project explores how to retool Auckland’s existing 19th century combined waste and storm water infrastructure. The present system pollutes urban waterways with untreated sewage during storm events. The research work proposes a new network to alleviate Aucklands aging infrastructure to improve the water resilience of the city. A new smart neighbourhood infrastructure with supporting landscapes is the key focus of the design project. The research considers how new technology could help develop a new wastewater infrastructure model for Auckland by applying the idea of a neighbourhood water infrastructure precinct. This alternative waste water system is considered on a macro, city wide and micro neighbourhood level. Developed into a new synergistic buddy wastewater management system, the design research proposes a decentralised and

distributed waste water system around existing parks. The proposed design strategy uses sustainability principles to explore a “zero waste” approach to resource use by recycling waste-water in the neighbourhood. Low impact design principles are suggested to help integrate the new wastewater infrastructure. The design work considers how new water purification technology can be fitted into a traditional wastewater infrastructure network. The key figure in the research is the model of an ‘ ecological cyborg’ designed to purify and reuse wastewater from the combined waste and storm water infrastructure.

The overarching strategy is collaboration, phased over time, between the Government, developers and the community to deliver environmental, economic and social benefits. A variety of landscape mitigation techniques were explored to help achieve these outcomes. A key aspect of the research is the premise that vegetation and water can act as catalysts to boost environmental remediation, social inclusion and real estate value. The case study site is located in a southwestern suburb of Phnom Penh. It comprised three distinct zones: a disused landfill, a polluted lake, and a partly occupied plot between. The phased aspect of the design project includes a range of programmes which

ebb and flow between the zones for an anticipated period of 15 to 20 years. The area is presently occupied by a lower socioeconomic population, and is considered an undesirable location. The research work develops a proposal to transform this area into a better living environment for the existing residents as well as for potential newcomers. On-site observation, techniques learnt from relevant precedents/theories and social considerations were used as groundwork strategies to identify, develop and refine the research. This work carries the hope of addressing some of the social/ environmental/ developmental problems of Phnom Penh. There is the potential to raise public awareness of current developmental patterns whilst showcasing a viable and responsible alternative.
