dc.description.abstract |
Defined by an expansive coastline, New Zealand’s Northland is rich with marine environments and spectacular scenic landscapes that have drawn in countless people for many generations. Both locals and tourists are attracted to these picturesque beaches and associated coastal townships as a nature’s escape away from the metropolitan lifestyle. Water-based activities have long piqued people’s curiosity recreationally, and in contemporary times bathing has become a trend in health and wellness tourism .
The architectural history of bathing is one of shared space. Bathing rituals integrate cultural rites, architectural forms, and natural environments to create beauty out of necessity. However over the last few decades, there has been a rebirth of interest in bathing as a luxury tourism destination, with high-profile architects having built spaces of enormous architectural power. In addition to these exceptional examples of architectural excellence, there has been a renaissance in public bathing as urban infrastructure, as post-industrial communities strive to reclaim industrial waterways for other uses.
The purpose of this thesis is to suggest and clarify viable directions for the future of sustainable coastal landscape design and architecture. Thus, it ambitiously invokes both tradition and invention through methods such as adaptive reuse to bring forth a renewal of landscape and attitudes towards it. This objective contains an underlying belief that landscape has the capacity to engage society both physically and metaphysically as an active instrument in shaping modern New Zealand coastal culture. This thesis also aims to investigate the potential of New Zealand Coastal environments as a therapeutic landscape in a contemporary context and propose design strategies that reflects these findings. Therapeutic landscapes have been described as places that have achieved lasting reputations for providing physical, mental and spiritual healing. Landscape, in this case, becomes considered as an explicit thematic genre, as it is when set in the foreground in cultural imagery, art and literature. Theories of Phenomenology and Atmospheres are utilised in a transformative sense to form a subtle unimposing architecture that deeply connects with the user and environment. To complement this, the desired architecture uses landscape as more than just decoration under the base of buildings, but assumes a deeper role of contextualization, heightening experiences and embedding time and nature in the built world. The case study selected for the process of design that will inform the thesis is Waiwera, north of the Auckland region. |
