- Summary:
-
"O Peretu (The dwelling place of Peretu) is the ancient name of Takapuna Head, on which Fort Takapuna was built in 1886 to defend New Zealand from invasion by Russians. The site is identified as a regionally significant landscape, being part of a series of headlands and promontories that comprise the east coast of Auckland Region’s North Shore. It provides a natural “grand stand” to the Rangitoto Channel, a feature that led to the occupation of this area by pre-European Maori and later as a strategic New Zealand military defence. ‘Territory of memories’ for the tribal groupings of Ngati Whatua, Kawerau a Maki and Ngati Paoa, all having ancestral association with this site, as well as local community groups, its future looks uncertain. Can architecture contribute to make the site’s identities intelligible, transforming this ‘space’ into a ‘place’ for many? Manuel Aires Mateus, and 15 selected students of the Master of Architecture program, try give an answer."--Publisher
