▼ BACKGROUND: Falls are highly prevalent in elderly people and are responsible for health challenges and injury, ranging in severity and type. Many factors, including changes in public policy or behaviour, might influence fall and fracture rates in older populations. Data available from Accident Compensation Corporation (ACC) of New Zealand could be used to observe trends in fall and fracture rates and evaluated in relation to any known changes in these factors. A longitudinal examination of falls and fracture incidence in older individuals might thereby further guide the planning of health services in New Zealand. OBJECTIVES: Determine, using New Zealand-wide and regionally-specific ACC data, whether or not there are any demographic changes in numbers of falls or fall-related fracture claims or rates, adjusted for population or for total number of claims, by gender, ethnicity (Māori versus non-Māori), or 5-year age groups over 65 years. Additionally, to assess agreement rates of ACC falls coding and falls identified from a sample of available accident descriptions. METHODS: The number of ACC claims relating to falls and fall-related fractures in persons aged 65 years and over for National and Bay of Plenty (BOP) and Lakes District specific populations were determined for the period 1997 – 2013. Age group, ethnicity and temporal trends in numbers and rates of claims were plotted. The poor quality of accessible data for years preceding 2007 restricted analysis. Outcomes were established for each ethnicity x gender x age-group category from 2007 – 2013. RESULTS: Population corrected results showed very little change in fall and fall-related fracture rates during the investigated period in most age groups. The most prominent changes occurred in those aged >80 years. Reductions of 11% and 25% in those aged over 80 years, compared to under, were demonstrated for fall-related fractures for both National and regional populations respectively. In those over 80 years, temporal changes between 2007 – 2013, in both fall and fall-related fracture rates were greatest when adjusted for both population and total number of claims, with a 37% decrease in falls and 71% decrease in fall-related fracture observed. Overall, temporal decreases were shown to be most prominent for Māori individuals. Non-Māori consistently experienced greater fall (74% and 78% higher in National and regional populations) and fall-related fracture (82% and 56%) claim rates compared to Māori when adjusted for population only. CONCLUSIONS: Based on minimal changes seen in ACC claim rates since 2007, recent interventions or changes in the use of vitamin D may have had relatively little influence on falls and fall-related fractures. Slight temporal reductions in fracture rates in the advanced elderly (80 years and over) may have occurred as the result of improvements in bone strength during the investigated period. Non-Māori, compared to Māori, individuals appear to have a greater risk of falling and sustaining a fracture from falling.… Advisors/Committee Members: Unitec Institute of Technology.

▼ RESEARCH QUESTIONS: 1. What are the perspectives of heads of department regarding their role documentation in a Timor-Leste higher education institution? 2. What are the challenges faced by the heads of department in understanding and performing their role? 3. What improvements are suggested by the heads of department? Heads of Department perform a crucial role in improving student learning outcomes and achieving the institutional goals. One of the essential considerations to ensure that Heads of Department perform well is the need for role clarity in the statement of the job description for heads of department so that they have a clear understanding of their roles and responsibilities in performing their functions. This study explored the clarity of the Head of Department role in one Timor-Leste Higher Education Institution. An interpretive approach was adopted for this qualitative study to examine the perceptions of Heads of Department concerning their understanding of role documentation. This study also investigated the challenges faced by heads of department, including exploring their perceptions related to suggestions for improvements for clarifying their role. Two qualitative methods were employed to collect data: semi-structured interview and documentary analysis. A semistructured interview was used to obtain heads of department perceptions, challenges and suggestions for improving their role performance. Documentary analysis was used to examine what documents revealed about the roles and responsibilities of Timor-Leste Heads of Department. This study reveals that the job description of a head of department is vital to provide an indepth understanding of the roles and responsibilities that are required and expected of them. Whilst some job descriptions were provided, half of the participants in the study had no written role description. A key finding was that the department heads would have liked the opportunity to discuss their role documentation and they would like to negotiate tasks. This study also found some challenges encountered by heads of department mainly related to time pressure and role ambiguity and expectations related to research and community service activity. It is recommended that the institution should develop two guidelines: for research and community service activity. Also, capacity building was highly recommended for Heads of Department.

▼ RESEARCH QUESTIONS: 1. What are the teachers’ perceptions regarding students’ smartphone use at school? 2. What are the parents’ perceptions regarding students’ smartphone use at school and at home? 3. What are the perceptions of parents and teachers regarding the school’s practice in managing smartphone use? ABSTRACT: In recent years, smartphones have become an inevitable device used by young people in schools because of the smartphones’ portability and versatility. However, middle school students as a special group are not mature so they are easily attracted by network information which could lead to the excessive use of smartphones and cause many problems. Thus, the topic of smartphone use by middle school students and school’s management practice related to this is a topic that is of interest to both parents and teachers. This research was conducted to explore the views of parents and teachers regarding smartphone use by students in one Beijing middle school in China. Using a qualitative approach, six teachers and six parents from this middle school participated in two focus group interviews respectively for this study. The three key research questions guiding this study were: What are the teachers’ perceptions regarding students’ smartphone use at school? What are the parents’ perceptions regarding students’ smartphone use at school and at home? and What are the perceptions of parents and teachers regarding the school’s practice in managing smartphone use? Findings from this research reveal that it is an inevitable trend for students to own a smartphone however, it is also seen that overusing smartphones will lead to negative influences on students’ physical health and behaviour. Therefore, managing smartphone use has become a concern for teachers and parents, and simply banning phones in school may not be the best solution. This research highlights the need for a partnership between the Ministry of Education, school leaders, teachers and parents to develop and implement a comprehensive programme of managing smartphone use by middle school students effectively, which is contextual, practical, supportive and underpinned by theoretical knowledge.

▼ RESEARCH QUESTIONS: 1. What are the beliefs and experiences of students who have recently transitioned from secondary to tertiary education in one New Zealand polytechnic? 2. What are the beliefs and experiences of students who are likely to transition from secondary to tertiary education to this polytechnic? 3. What strategies could be suggested to improve secondary to tertiary transitions? ABSTRACT: There has been a steady decline of students enrolling straight from secondary school into tertiary study in recent years. This decline has prompted emphasis to be placed on the transition process between secondary schools and tertiary institutes. However, there is never one simple explanation behind how they came to make their decisions. These decisions are complex and multifaceted, and without interventions can result in students not completing the transition process or successfully transitioning into tertiary study. The literature reveals a wide range of influences and barriers, but no clear understanding of the student’s perspective. This study set out to investigate the student perspectives of secondary to tertiary transitions; to examine influences on the decision making process; and to make recommendations for institutions and secondary schools to consider when engaging with students who are about to transition out of secondary school and into tertiary education. An interpretive approach was adopted for this study which used qualitative data about the experiences and perspectives of secondary school and tertiary students. To collect the data two focus groups were held, the first focus group had seven secondary school students from one West Auckland secondary school. The second focus group had seven first year tertiary students from my own institute. The study found similarities and differences between the responses of secondary school students and first year tertiary students concerning the transition from secondary school to tertiary education. Both groups placed an emphasis on parents and the highly influential role they play in the decision making process. While both groups spoke of pathways and the importance they played in the journey, the secondary school students spoke of open pathways and the tertiary students focused more on structured pathways and support. Both groups highlighted key barriers to transition, with focus placed on how to recognise and remove them. This study recommends that more importance be placed on the student voice and that there is a need for closer collaboration between secondary schools and tertiary institutions.

▼ RESEARCH QUESTIONS: 1. What are the key expectations for moderation policy? 2. What is the practice of internal moderation from the perspectives of lecturers? 3. What are the challenges experienced by lecturers during the internal moderation process? ABSTRACT: The emergence of ‘quality’ as a key focus of educational leadership reflects current international trends in educational management that place policy emphasis on improvements to quality assurance and accountability. Moderation of assessment has come to embody this emerging policy focus and plays an increasingly important role within tertiary sector quality assurance systems. This small scale qualitative study drew on a case study research framework to investigate the perceptions and experiences of lecturers and moderators who are implementing the internal moderation policy of an undergraduate programme at an ITP sector institution. This research investigated issues associated with the translation of moderation policy into practice, particularly the underlying practitioner values and the associated practice challenges and tensions. The research method utilised was semi-structured face to face interviews with six lecturers/moderators. The research found evidence of a complex and distinct moderation culture among practitioners in the School that is supported by a range of values that underpin the approach. Strong support was found for moderation as an academic quality assurance process, along with resistance to a focus on compliance, and there was also found to be an aspiration for moderation to support and drive improvements to the student experience and learning outcomes. It was found that practitioners rated the skills, experience, knowledge and workload capacity of moderators to be the key factor in determining the effectiveness of moderation, with policy playing a less important, supporting role. A range of challenges to effective practice are outlined, including the identification of policy tensions related to the recognition and management of moderator workloads and professional development. This research highlights the complexities and challenges for educational leaders in the development and implementation of effective moderation policy, which needs to recognise and support the diversity of a positive moderation culture within an institute, while resolving the tensions that are inherent in achieving a balance between quality assurance and supporting teaching and learning.

▼ RESEARCH QUESTION: In what way can architecture enhance the pre, to post-game experience, in a multipurpose sports stadium and social hub setting, through spatial movement? ABSTRACT: Auckland City is at a point in 2019, where our stadium landscape is failing to meet the requirements and expectations, which are necessary for the current-day user. Eden Park is struggling to support music events without significant pushback from local community groups. Mount Smart, originally built for athletics, is now in line for serious upgrades and earthquake strengthening of its grandstands. The requirements and expectations within and around a stadium have changed since these complexes were built. They are no longer just concrete structures but now should be an entertainment and social hub for players and spectators. With all the different sporting codes having new requirements to meet fans expectations, which their current outdated stadiums cannot supply. Why not look at one new multi-purpose arena, to suit them all? Several architects, urban theorists and authors all came up with different opinions or perspectives on how a single venue environment can be both successful and practical to all users. Richard Cleary investigated the setting in the eyes of the performers; the architects on the field, who create spaces through manipulation skills in deceiving the opposition to create chances. Shenna McKenzie looked at the setting in the eyes of the spectators, who creates the idea of sport being a type of religion. Where the stadium acts as a cathedral, where people from afar gather to worship. Carles Broto studied how users can imagine different uses for a stadium, rather than solely for sports. Martin Wimmer researched the idea of what a stadium means to modern society, through the environment surrounding the space. So, in what way can architecture enhance the pre, to post-game experience, in a multi-purpose sports stadium and social hub setting, through spatial movement? The process would be to go through a site analysis exercise to find the perfect location, based on several critical factors, for the stadium and surrounding environment. Once a site has been located, Camillo Sitte’s urban planning and architectural principles on enclosure, irregularity and perspectives will be applied to develop a master plan. Together, these theories will also look at the framework and requirements for the stadium and the performance, on how spectators interact with the spaces and to gain an experience of what a player might feel.

▼ RESEARCH QUESTION: How can an architectural intervention mediate the adverse effects of political conflicts in South Africa? ABSTRACT: South Africa, a culturally rich country, has encountered much political conflict which has had an impact on the country’s vernacular architecture. Through the duration of the Apartheid, the political regime caused many indigenous people to be removed from urban areas, resulting in a loss of traditional culture in major cities and led to unregulated settlements on the outskirts. The Post-Apartheid era shows the incline of poverty and decline of education, medical, and housing facilities for directly affected settlements, due to a series of politically driven conflicts. The question considered was; how can an architectural intervention mediate the adverse effects of political conflicts in South Africa? It is through a collaboration of technology, with the local culture that the architectural interventions can speak the language of the context. It shows positive progression towards the future, as the architecture reflects the context of the area and the site. This project “Building Hope” investigated a South African township and proposed a community centre that created opportunities that provided hope for the future and reflected the local culture through architectural design. Most importantly, the design was not a re-invention of traditional architecture, but rather an adaptation of traditional building techniques into modern architecture. It was essential to address the local municipalities current challenges, understand the township’s history and vernacular, as well as finding architectural ways to appreciate their cultural beliefs. The project was broken up into different considerations; political, historical, climatic, cultural, and poverty. These considerations, along with the surrounding contextual elements, impacted the community centre’s design. Architectural ideologies and theories were the underlying drivers for each design decision throughout the development stages of the project. Architectural theorists, and philosophers, such as Paul Ricoeur, Kenneth Frampton, have evaluated how to revive tradition while moving forward with modernity. Kenneth Frampton explains ‘Critical Regionalism’ in his 1983 essay, “Towards a New Architecture, Six Points for an Architecture of Resistance,”1 as a movement that draws characteristic from the surrounding environment in order for architecture to complement its surroundings. This brought up an ideology that many historians claimed have previously moulded South African communities, called “Ubuntu.”2 Ubuntu is not an architectural concept but rather the personality of an area based on public attitudes. The concept motivated the project to become a positive intervention in an area that has experienced great negativity. The design intent of the community centre was to provide opportunities for work, to enable well-rounded education possibilities and also to provide spaces that supported social activities.

▼ RESEARCH QUESTION: How can a new church architecture be formed combining Protestant and social service functions to enable a Protestant community to prosper in China? ABSTRACT: Shanghai is a metropolitan city in China with a growing number of young people. While these young people enjoy the high standard of living offered by the city, they are are under intense pressure from their work, family and study. Many turn to God and convert to Protestantism in a search for spiritual strength and to relieve this pressure. This has increased a need for Protestant church architecture in Shanghai. However, the government and building developers are not willing to invest money in the construction of such churches due to its single functional use. This leads to a small number of churches being built in Shanghai hindering the development of Chinese Protestantism. The Protestant church complex in this project explores multiple possible functions of the building and encourages government and building developers to see the value of Protestant church architecture. Moreover, instead of being limited to a single function, diversified church architecture helps Protestantism become more firmly rooted in Chinese society and aid an understanding of the universality of the Protestant faith. Good Protestant church architecture appeals to more worshippers. My research focuses on literature about Protestant faith, the relationship between Protestant communities and Protestant church architecture in China and its social use. An analysis of precedents in architecture is included to help me understand existing forms of Protestant church architecture and how to combine them with religious and secular needs. The outcome of this project is to create a new architectural form for the Protestant church: a Protestant church complex providing both religious and social functions. The aim is to offer both a meaningful spiritual experience to Chinese Protestants and a platform for the public to learn about the Protestant faith. A future vision of the project is to promote this new architectural form to other Chinese cities and engender a flourishing of Chinese Protestantism.

▼ Project The establishment of a whare wānanga at the site of Hoani Waititi Marae, Oratia. The Hoani Waititi Marae has been a centre for Maori educational development since it's opening in 1980. It has hosted such initiatives as marae courts, work skills development schemes, Māon health, Māori language (Ataarangi). Then, with the emergence of kōhanga reo and kura kaupapa Māori, the marae was a leader in pioneering these initiatives. It is also home to the first purpose-built Māori secondary school in Aotearoa and hosts five of the country's most successful Māori cultural performing groups. Te Whare Tū Taua school of Māori weaponry is also based here. The Whare Tū Taua is based very much on the teaching of ancient knowledge albeit with a modern structure to its teaching. [...] The initial concepts were for a 5000 student campus but this has been scaled back and optimistic estimates are for a 3000 maximum student campus. The opportunity to a whare wānanga provides the designer with enormous challenges. Maori educational initiatives such as kōhanga reo and kura kaupapa Māori have succeeded raising the numbers of young Māori language speakers. Māori education at the deep and philosophical level has failed. The erosion and disappearance of the theological and cultural practice held by the tōhunga (sage) and ariki (chiefly lineage in Aotearoa) has seen the loss of not only knowledge but also a system of learning that has evolved in this landscape for over one thousand years. The whare wānanga is the opportunity to create and to a certain extent, recreate another institution that is uniquely different to the ones that currently operate here in Aotearoa. One that place their pedgagoies on more modern, post-colonial models. In contrast this project seeks to capture the essence of the traditional concept of whare wānanga. The only way to do that will be to make a culturally and hopefully fiscally independent instituion that can follow its own course of tino rangatiratanga (self determination). Tribes are now starting to reintroduce the various Whare Wānanga such as the Panekeretanga (Tūhoe Wānanga) and Te Kura i Awaawa in Te Whānau-a-Apanui (eastern Bay of Plenty). The need for authenticity at this point is growing. Te Whare Wānanga o Hoani Waititi: is this solution to creating this independent authentic Māori institution for the 'New Millennium'? Perhaps not, but it will be another model that may expand on the growing demand for a holistic indigenous inspired education.

▼ Auckland is growing rapidly and the Auckland Plan promotes a compact city model. This situation favours the redevelopment of brownfield sites in central areas of the city, to enable both the provision of housing close to employment and public transport, and the commercial activities and public space to support such a new community. This type of development has strong potential for commercial gain in the current economic climate. Abandoned brownfield sites cause disconnection between neighbourhoods, and can have adverse effects on the environment including contamination where the sites are located. This project aims to reconcile the contradiction between urban development and environmental deterioration has been identified as an option for supporting sustainable development, especially for the transformation of brownfield sites in a landscape architectural way. A review of the literature discussed the design methodology, sustainability, liveability potentials, along with a wide range of national and international case studies. The suitable criteria was clarified for the selection of a suitable Auckland brownfield site at Crown Lynn pottery and brickworks site in New Lynn, for which an existing council development proposal is available for critique and comparison. Through site analysis and an informal interview with the Operations Manager, an evaluation of the potentials and constraints of the site was made. Then came design testing with a range of options for the type of development privileged. In this project, the environment, economy and community were identified to be main considerations for achieving the goal of site sustainable development. The concept of pedestrianism encouraged a development of walkability and accessibility to provide a healthy, safe and comfortable environment within a variety of functional considerations, which include density and layout, mixed uses, urban open spaces, reutilisation of industrial buildings, conservation of landform features associated with past uses, restoration of hydrological patterns and associated vegetation configuration. This project has attempted to suggest possibilities for demonstrating that the relationships between environment, economy and community are interdependent. All of the sustainable landscape design outcomes are visible and have potential to encourage sustainable behaviour and awareness. The proposed outcome of sustainable transformation aims to advocate a nature and people prioritised environment for the development of a liveable community. The reflection and comparison with the existing New Lynn Urban Plan provide another perspective to demonstrate how a new sustainable community could be developed in the New Zealand context.

▼ BACKGROUND Depression affects one in five New Zealanders and often goes without recognition, or effective treatment. Screening has the potential to improve detection of depression, however, screening for depression within New Zealand osteopathy is poorly implemented. Addressing the lack of knowledge with depression screening has been found to improve osteopaths’ detection of depression and referral for appropriate treatment. This study’s primary objectives were to determine if it was feasible that a behaviour change education intervention, using the Whooley questions, for depression screening could influence student osteopaths’ readiness to change, commitment and clinical behavioural intention within clinical practice. The study investigated student osteopaths’ perceptions and experiences of the behaviour change intervention, including the use of Whooley questions in a clinical setting. METHODS This was a non-randomised prospective feasibility study which incorporated mixed methods to form two studies. The main quantitative study included a pre-post questionnaire survey of an education session on depression screening and post questionnaire survey of depression screening after six weeks of clinical practice. The second, supportive qualitative study was informed by interpretive description and thematic analysis. RESULTS The quantitative data revealed significant gains in the osteopathic students’ clinical behaviour intentions to screen for depression as well as in their perceptions of willingness to change. Their belief in the need to change their screening behaviours and the benefits of such change also improved significantly. Spearman’s rho showed a significant positive correlation of large magnitude between students’ initial commitment to screen for depression in comparison to their final intention score to screen for depression, following six weeks of screening practice. Qualitative data suggested the education session encouraged positive behaviour change regarding the adoption of depression screening. The Whooley questions were found to be a useful screening tool, and patients who responded positively to the Whooley questions were able to be appropriately referred on. Finally, reminder screening cards were perceived to be a key tool for facilitating behaviour change and depression screening in a clinic setting. CONCLUSION Preliminary evidence demonstrates that a brief educational intervention designed to train student osteopaths in screening for depression could be feasible and may improve students’ readiness to change and commitment, and clinical behavioural intent within clinical practice. The education session was perceived to be relevant and informative for screening for depression. After six weeks of screening for depression, students felt they were able to appropriately screen patients with possible depression, and some did refer patients for an accurate diagnosis and treatment.

▼ RESEACH QUESTION: How can mixed-use development and its connections to a series of urban spaces improve user experience at one of Auckland’s major transport nodes? ABSTRACT: Historically, the city of Auckland has been built as a city for cars. Road infrastructure has formed the city significantly. This is contradictory to what city design and urban planning has advocated for over the last half century – a focus on pedestrianism to create lively cities. The priority given to road infrastructure in Auckland does affect the experience of being a pedestrian in a negative way and subsequently it affects the potential for liveliness that is desired at a local and global scale. The built environment (architecture and urban space) and the human psyche are two intrinsically linked phenomena. The constant presence of the built environment is constantly stimulating the biologically embedded sensory systems that humans have. When senses are stimulated by an environment, the brain registers a perception of that environment and stores that perception as a mental image that can be recalled as some type of experience. This ever-present relationship between the built environment and experience therefore needs to be considered to have any chance at building a positive image for a city because where experiences are positive, the chances of places being lively with pedestrians are higher. This project explores this process with the aim of applying it to the design proposal. The experience of being a pedestrian in a car-based city like Auckland can be unpleasant and there are a few elements that contribute to this. Firstly, the higher convenience of car travel means more cars in the city and this presents more safety hazards to pedestrians. Secondly, good quality pedestrian ways are limited because they are simply not a priority. Both of these can act as deterrents for people to walk or use public transport and this does not encourage liveliness in a city. That being said, in recent years, Auckland has realised that cars are not what make cities lively and so there has been a wave of significant pedestrian and public transport infrastructure upgrades to boost the experience and liveliness of the city. This project feeds from the desire to improve experiences for pedestrians in the city and as such identifies a significantly unpleasant pedestrian experience in Auckland and aims to improve it.

▼ RESEARCH QUESTION: How can the declining CBD periphery zone be regenerated and promote urban development in big cities? ABSTRACT: As an increasing number of people’s agglomerate in large cities, the realm of urbanisation of these cities is becoming more significant. The CBD periphery zone (CBDPZ), which is the immediate edge area of the city centre between the CBD and the suburbs, is faced with several problems from this urban growth such as poor land use, low-quality public spaces and functional isolation due to heavy road traffic as the CBDPZ deteriorates. However, the CBDPZ has a high value for urban regeneration with potential opportunities such as introducing new public spaces, creating new transit nodes and promoting further urban expansion. This research by design project identifies several approaches to address current urban problems. This research investigates a potential approach to regenerating the CBDPZ in large cities. After background reading and literature review, such as Drosscape, landscape urbanism and transit-oriented development (TOD), several methods are employed including using design precedents, undertaking data analysis and developing a research by design process. The research investigation looks at the Strand Station area on the north-east edge of Auckland City Centre as a case study, as it is run-down with similar problems to the defined CBDPZ. The site has a great deal of potential for environmentally friendly and transit-oriented urban regeneration, helping to create a sustainable and resilient city for its location and urban context. The design project identifies an urban redevelopment strategy for the Strand Station, which is a unique Green-Blue TOD park. The result will optimise land use, rehabilitate geographic contexts, create high-quality public spaces and improve connectivity and mobility. This new type of TOD project without high-density buildings is likely a big park dominated by social green and stormwater treatment blue, beside a new train terminal. The renewal creates a park, encouraging big images of large-scale urban development, like recreating the Auckland waterfront and even linking other cities in New Zealand such as Hamilton and Wellington by high-speed rail. Ultimately, the research seeks not only to improve Auckland’s urban form through redeveloping the Strand Station area but also to help other big cities around the world make strategic plans for the urban regeneration of run-down CBDPZs.

▼ RESEARCH QUESTION: How social and cultural housing issues can be addressed through the traditional practice of Indian settlement? ABSTRACT: This research aims to strategize a comprehensive design, establishing a link between the traditional and current practice of housing. The intent is to provide the various housing issues; energy waste, social-cultural aspects, ignored the specific need of environment and local people, missing regional architecture characteristics. Social and environmental factors in the housing sectors have been affected by the forces of globalization during the rapid urbanization. In the last three decades, housing construction tends to reflect the requirements of the global market instead of local architecture or social demands. The concept of regional housing is selected as a stepping stone of this research project to provide guidelines for the current housing practice. Hence, the research question: “How social and environmental issues can be addressed through the traditional practice of Indian settlement?” Every year, mass migration has created a shortage of housing. However, modern rapid housing construction has given a roof to migrants at the cost of losing the local identity and characteristic of the city. A large number of migrants comes from the north of Gujarat villages or small towns, who are still rooted in their culture and believes. It is a crucial necessity to understand their lifestyle, needs, and provide good living ambience for the betterment of life and maintain the identity of the local architecture. As per the current scenario, the findings indicate that Ahmedabad, Gujarat is the first Heritage city of India declared by UNESCO. Belonging from Gujarat and having deep connections to Ahmedabad city, because of its rich heritage and culture, the observation of the city raised the need to reidentify the housing practice in the city with the social and environmental value of local heritage architecture. Design methodology incorporates the comparative investigation of spatial form in traditional and current housing practice. It might provide some useful insights providing different type of activities and environment requirements, to develop a typical housing model which will hold the local architectural identity for the local people. Regional housing is a relatively new approach which will consider different factors in the design process, such as location, climate, accessibility, people, construction techniques, and the vernacular environmental approach. Few planned and successful housing projects, provide the inferences to develop the best possible strategy for this approach. Advisors/Committee Members: Unitec Institute of Technology.

▼ RESEARCH QUESTION: How can an alternative participatory process be applied in the design of green spaces for children in Auckland, as it densifies? ABSTRACT: Children face many challenges in urban life today, including diminished contact with nature and reduced independent mobility. These indicators point to an erosion of rights. However, children have the political right and intellectual capability to participate in all aspects of urban life. As adults realise the seriousness of this phenomenon, more projects are trying to make changes to promote children's rights. Lookout is one such project based on performance art that provided equal communication opportunities for children and adults. The purpose of this research is to utilise a child and adult participation project called ‘Lookout’, performed in Auckland, as an alternative process of participation in design. The methodology applied is research by design, taking qualitative data collected from the Lookout project and applying it in the design of a suburban park, in Mt Roskill (Puketapapa), Auckland. This area is currently undergoing housing intensification due to a need to replace aged housing stock coupled with an acute housing shortage in Auckland that is being addressed via the Auckland Plan 2050. This makes quality green space provision an even more important goal as the city grows and loses precious outdoor space for exploration and free play (eg backyards). The design outcomes validate the importance of the Lookout project as a unique, egalitarian encounter between children and adults, with both parties contributing their ideas and aspirations for future Auckland in an environment of equality and openness. For the children, this was helped by the ‘mask’ of performance. There are limitations to its use as a participatory or consultation method – especially the time taken to workshop the ideas with the children beforehand. It may, however, be possible to develop an abridged form of this that still provides children with the tools to communicate equally with adults. Of particular value was the broad perspective it encouraged in the participants so that the ideas generated were applicable to a suburban site, while the Lookout project was performed in the CBD.

▼ RESEARCH QUESTIONS: How can architecture provide an increasingly multisensory experience for the betterment of the human psyche? How can this experience be a catalyst in the overall development of the deaf and the blind? The research culminates in the design of a vocational training and development centre for the deaf, blind and the sighted in India. The human body gifted with a plethora of senses. Along with the traditionally known five senses, the sense of balance, temperature, pressure and movement are the lesse known senses in the body. The body perceives the external environment via these senses of perception. Research proves that every experience that has the involvement of most of the senses is always deep and meaningful It gets deeply etched in the human mind. These senses work with each other to give a cohesive view of the environment. All the other senses compensate for the lack of any one. Research shows that as compared to experiences involving a single sense of perception, any experience involving multiple senses is always enriching. Architecture is an applied and visual art. A beautiful building not only can be appreciated for its beauty but also for its utility. Pallasma emphasizes on the importance of multisensory perception in architecture. He claims that the senses connect our inner selves to the world through architecture. The Planning, massing, materials and textures are some design strategies that have the ability to formulate a long-lasting perception of the space. A slight change in any of the strategies could drastically change the overall perception of the space. Zumthor’s thermal baths would feel different if the cladding stone is replaced. This is a beautiful quality of architecture. Due to their physical conditions, the deaf and blind understand architecture from a totally different view. In order to understand space, blind people have to hear, touch and feel the space. In the case of deaf people, vision and touch play a major role. All the areas within the space should be clearly visible. As their mode of conversation is sign language, the dimensions of the spaces should be sufficient for them to make eye contact and entirely visualize the person. As a multisensory approach is taken by the deaf and blind, their understanding of the space is more creative and rich than the able bodied.

▼ RESEARCH QUESTION: How can architecture represent the colonial past of Tahiti? ABSTRACT: Located in the heart of the Pacific Ocean, Tahiti is one of the 118 islands that make up French Polynesia. It was first “discovered” by British explored Samuel Wallis in 1767, followed by Louis Antoine Bougainville in 1768 and by James Cook in 1769. All of them were charmed by the natural landscape and the beauty of the local people. However, like many other colonised islands in the Pacific, the first contact with Europeans was a turning point for Tahitian society. Tahitians were nearly decimated by diseases, guns, alcohol and aspirations brought by Europeans. The introduction of money and the gospel changed the traditional culture, which revolved around nature and Polynesian deities, and eventually led to the end of the Tahitian Monarchy and the annexation of Tahiti by France in 1880. Tahiti’s tourist appeal is legendary, as Tahiti has held a special place in the Western Imagination since its discovery. But this romantic image, boosted by the tourism industry, distracts from the social and environmental destruction caused by France’s 30-year nuclear testing program in French Polynesia. With the closure of the Centre d’Experimentation du Pacifique (CEP) in 1996, the local government is now looking to tourism for salvation. This project investigates the origins of the first settlements in the Pacific and the means Polynesians used to cross the ocean. A chronological study of Tahiti’s colonial history follows, from the first encounter with the Europeans to the Nuclear Era in the 1960s. The colonial past is analysed, along with the colonial discourse, to see how the European vision of the Pacific has shaped and reshaped the geography of Tahiti over time. The research led to a design proposal of a memorial museum commemorating the colonial past of Tahiti with an emphasis on the nuclear testing in French Polynesia. The project aims to initiate social, economic, and political changes that will benefit Tahitian society and help it recover from the ills of colonisation.

▼ RESEARCH QUESTION: Following the ‘compact’ intensification model for Auckland’s growth, how can we use the courtyard house model to provide quality urban housing in future intensification developments? ABSTRACT: The courtyard house stands as one of the oldest house-types that transcended historical, cultural and regional boundaries. It has been able to accommodate and endure various transformation processes without losing its essential core qualities. Besides its history as a vernacular house model, it has also attracted modern architects of the twentieth century to revisit this archetype and rediscover its potentials in urban housing. These experiments were in an attempt to satisfy contemporary socio-cultural needs and to address specific housing issues wherever the courtyard house provided a solution. In Auckland, the city faced the problems of urban sprawl and horizontal growth by implementing intensification strategies for new developments. Increasing density can bring many social, economic, environmental benefits. Nevertheless, it will always come with liabilities, as poorly planned intensifications will bring drastic effects to the living conditions for the residents on many levels. Hence, it becomes more critical for housing intensifications to retain the inherent qualities of the low-density detached models while maintaining the approach to higher densities. The courtyard house shows the capacity to manage these twin pressures effectively, as it has a collection of qualities that combine advantages of the detached house with the characteristics of urban housing models. Furthermore, it can adapt to different climate regions and various contextual conditions. However, it is still not included as an alternative option for medium density developments in Auckland. Thus, this project researches how courtyard house-types can adapt to Auckland’s case and provide quality housing intensification. The project aims to present courtyard house-type as a viable housing typology for future intensifications in Auckland. It also intends to identify the possible urban densities resulting from using this model on a real site in Auckland’s city. That is proposed in the form of a series of research methods, which involved literature surveying for definitions and design strategies, analysis of precedent projects, followed by the design research. The final part designs a prototype of the courtyard house model, and a masterplan guided by strategies, and relevant urban design concepts to achieve an intensification development that incorporates quality amenity values.

▼ RESEARCH STATEMENT: To address issues of social isolation and foster better community reintegration of people with traumatic spinal cord injuries that result in permanent confinement to wheelchairs. The proposed architectural design is a transitional facility that bridges a very rough transition from hospital to home, providing them a place to integrate with others like themselves, peer mentor, form groups, re-skill for better employment opportunities, monitor mental and emotional coping, lessen harsh impact on pre-existing spouses or families and reintegrate with the public realm in a less abrupt manner. ABSTRACT: People in wheelchairs faced a harsh reality check every morning as they wake to find that their previous lives have been violently severed and that they must come to terms with their new, bitter reality. These people have a high risk of social isolation and depression which this thesis aims to avoid or negate as much as possible by increasing their opportunities for new and meaningful social interactions. This project focuses on people permanently living in wheelchairs as results of traumatic accidents. Primarily it will aim to design a collective housing arrangement for people coming to terms with the physical limitations of living in a wheelchair. This design will first seek to cater to the needs of wheelchair-bound occupants, before seeking to introduce the greater public in smaller doses to allow people in wheelchairs to avoid social isolation and eventually see themselves as valuable and contributive members of society. This thesis seeks to at least initiate an architectural dialogue between people in wheelchairs, their risks of social isolation and the quest for social cohesion and reintroduction into greater society. The proposed design does this by providing a threshold where wheelchair users can feel safe, in control, equal and uplifted to charge through life with renewed vigour and confidence regardless what obstacles lie ahead.

▼ RESEARCH QUESTION: How can a facility for sports and recreation create a safe space for disadvantaged youth and foster their engagement with society? ABSTRACT: Many South Auckland children and youth experience significant disadvantages by New Zealand’s standards. This means that they are put in unfavourable circumstances that reduce their chances of succeeding in life, causing high unemployment, high crime, poor health, a lack of education and poverty. There is a very high percentage of youth in South Auckland who do not have access to education, health, social opportunities and support. Many of the locals often feel unsafe going to certain streets or neighbourhoods and lack a sense of belonging. This masters by design project investigates one specific area in south Auckland and how youth between the ages of 13 to 18 can be helped to achieve better life outcomes through the provision of a new community space. Youth in this area are surrounded by negativity. They do not have many positive options or role models to look up to and they often lack any sense of belonging to their community. This means that the young people in the area can be easily swayed by many of the poor surrounding influences. The environment has stayed the same for generations, creating what seems like a never-ending cycle. This project aims to interrupt this cycle by giving youth a place that takes them off the street and into a safe environment with positive guidance in their spare time. A positive space for youth can give hope and a sense of belonging that many so desperately need. This project is an architectural response to the inherent need for the creation of a youth-focused hub or facility to support creative, recreational and social programmes aimed to engage teenagers in Auckland’s southern suburb, Manurewa. The facility focuses on youth development through reinforcing positive relationships, developing self-belief and sense of worth. The focus is on youth themselves and giving them the agency to better their situation. Advisors/Committee Members: Unitec Institute of Technology.
