Accord Beacons Case Study – The Living Pā, building in pursuit of kaitiakitanga
The Living Pā is the bold redevelopment of Te Herenga Waka Marae, on Kelburn Parade at Victoria University of Wellington, into one of the world’s most environmentally responsible hubs. The 3000sqm project will extend the marae’s capacity to bring people together to learn, live and share a sustainable future. It will be a space not just for the University, but for the wider community. Responsive to Māori dreams, it will stand as proof of Māori beliefs, values, and passions, and guide many thousands of people to reconnect to their whakapapa (relationship) with nature.
The project applies Māori values, aligned closely with the philosophy of the International Living Futures Institutes® Living Building Challenge® (LBC) programme. It is targeting Living Certification, which requires the pā to be net positive in energy, carbon, water, and waste, and demonstrably give back to the local ecology and community across a comprehensive range of imperatives.
This case study shows how the use of te ao Māori principles is key to the project, both during the build and into its future. These principles are the foundations of Māori culture and provide valuable insights to help guide and protect everyone involved.
