Abstract:
This project is a design for a health oriented culture park that aims to facilitate the interactions and relationships between people and their physical and social environments. Considering South Auckland's 'unattractive' nature, the intention of this design thesis is to investigate the ideas of attraction, identity, social health and wellbeing of the Manukau community through multi-programming and redefining of existing typologies. By designing within the Auckland council district plans and using them as a framework for the land use, we are dealing with an existing and real life issue.
