Due to the population’s rapid growth in Auckland, the future urban planning (The Proposed Auckland Unitary Plan) of Auckland determines that the city develops in the direction towards to urbanization and density. As a result, terraced houses or apartments will start to occupy the traditional local community that consisted of single-detached houses. Town centres will become metropolitan centres with highrise building blocks and provide for mixed-use purposes where residential, commercial and a series of other functional facilities co-exist. While the development brings convenience and vitality to the local communities, the effects brought by urbanization to the local residents’ lives cannot be ignored. From an architectural point of view, these new dwelling types cannot satisfy local residents’ lifestyles as a ‘Kiwi’ or present the Kiwi character in the new urban environment. Hence, how to create a Kiwi style building that is in line with The Proposed Auckland Unitary Plan particularly for the metropolitan centres becomes the key research question. This thesis aims to find the answers to this research question through a proposed design that is located in one of the future metropolitan centres, Albany Centre. The thesis is presented in the following order. Firstly, it will introduce the growth background of Auckland, and The Proposed Auckland Unitary Plan as a response to the growth. It will also analyse the effects brought by the growth to the local architecture and residents. Secondly, it talks about the Kiwi characteristics and their architecture development over the last century. Also, the Kiwi bach and one design project that is inspired from it are discussed and studied to get background knowledge for the proposed design. Meanwhile, a study of a series of density and mixeduse building topologies is carried out to get the inspiration for the proposed design. Thirdly, it analyses the site in the Albany Centre for the proposed design from its location and surrounding context and its use under The Proposed Auckland Unitary Plan. Finally, the proposed design of a mixed-use Kiwi complex in the Albany Centre is presented and shows the answers to the research question through its design process. |
