Te Hononga engages learners in Māori community based Project work, enhances their research skills in the field of Māori Architecture and provides holistic support for Māori students. These real-world architecture projects cover topics such as sustainability, landscape, resource management, planning and artistic expression. All projects have a hands on building dimension, which assists in merging theoretical knowledge and architecture practice.
