Abstract:
Definition: Ukutoia - Ukutoia is the traditional Māori name for the Glen Innes area. Ukutoia means to pull the waka up on to the shore (Tamaki River). Auckland is currently undergoing densification requiring more medium-density housing solutions to meet the national housing shortage. This thesis discusses the present changes to State Housing occurring in Glen Innes today. Currently the majority of people who require and occupy state housing in Auckland are of Maori and Pacific ethnicity . The research focuses on Maori and Pacific culture and the architectural typologies of the ‘Marae’ and ‘Malae’ in an attempt to influence a new approach towards state housin g in Auckland. How can Pacific and Maori culture, architecture and notions of space be introduced and integrated into the provision of state housing in New Zealand?
