Project descrip­tion

A small shel­ter con­struct­ed of rammed earth and a car­bon fibre roof to mark the site of the first Chris­t­ian ser­mon deliv­ered in New Zealand, an event that is con­sid­ered the first for­mal engage­ment between Euro­pean set­tlers and the coun­try’s indige­nous Maori inhab­i­tants. The shel­ter acts as a place of ori­en­ta­tion with­in the larg­er site of the first engage­ment and a place of reflec­tion and celebration.
