Architectural designSummary: In order for a house to have social value, it must be a focus of spiritual, political and cultural significance to a specific community. This is a tale of one such house, the Māori whare. The whare is formally greeted as one would a person, before addressing the humans within. Carving, ornament and pattern constitute most of its Māori-ness, and are central to its place in Māori civilisation. Anthony Hoete, founder of WHAT_architecture, unravels the architecture of Māori placemaking, its social standing and worldview.
