Rather than signage that provides educational and historical context to the wetland as visitors journey through, Ive decided to inscribe chosen texts into the interventions themselves.
Final inscriptions:
“Before Wellington’s major earthquakes in 1848 and 1855, the city was made up of a network of rivers, streams, and wetlands.”
“Te aro flat was a swampy wetland covered in vegetation like native Toe toe, Raupo and Harakeke”
“Following an earthquake in 1855 the land was lifted, draining the Te aro swamp that had once provided eels and shellfish for food, and flax for sale to European settlers.”
“As the swamp drained, small islands of flax and toe toe were floating about the harbour”
“Wetlands act as the kidneys of the earth, cleaning the water that flows into them by filtering out nutrients and removing contaminants, and reducing flooding by absorbing excess rainfall.”

Week 10 feedback: Meg and Julianna
JP
The structural responses feedback:
Feels too functional > less uniform : The imagination - images aren't telling this, only the functional aspects are revealed. Lack of sense of history, metaphors and myths: The raupo are not just uniform bus handles, they are totems (symbols of spiritual significance) What are their associations Where do these forms come from: what history does the design have in NZ Not about bringing in maori narratives Why can't there be large toetoe - forgot what she said Bridging the gap between what is described and what is seen/ understood The sensorial experiences of it: The dripping, the vibration and bobbing of the water, sounds, weather and climate.
Meg week 10 office hours:
Reworking the way it is presented: they aren't just normal structures, talk about how there is a playfulness to them, the experience of them, the curiosity It's fine if they are not forms derived from myths/ or is a design about mythology and this isn't expected of me to add in now either, but you can acknowledge that it is going to provoke a response from people and that this is something the project could be worked on if it were to be continued. Movement at different scales, showing the liveliness, this is how we worked at the start: looking at the seasonal change etc, showing that Revisit my interventions as live things: referencing that they are alive and derived from natural things Harakeke: the sounds/ Toetoe: finer and more delicate, less uniform
Kaitiakitanga: bring 5 crazy ideas / some grounded in reality, some not Wetland specialists that guide etc

Formative week 7 feedback
- How many people can these structures accommodate, what is the maximum number of people - Kaitiakitanga: How is this fragile ecosystem cared for (Cant take food in there, rubbish, containing what goes in and out, when it can be used) - Liked the toetoe implementation of how to treat the bordering of the wetland : what are other strategies - Materials - what kind of treatment and detailing : becoming specific of how they are delicately designed - Scale of the site and structures

Modelling the topography + Updated layout
Toetoe: plant that would be on the edges of the wetland (Dry areas) Planning to expand the pathway as an edge treatment around the wetland : still in development
Possible exploring the use of a semi transparent facade that creates a vertical/diagonal connection from the building face to the depths of the wetland

Week 5 - Remapping site and context
Photo shopping my interventions in context
Site stream mapping (historic streams that are now piped underground as part of the stormwater system)
Mapping the locations of the historic streams in relation to the current piped stormwater system
Stormwater system alone (possible input and output)
Existing water solutions from precedents
Pedestrian flow / possible accessways
Context (node of green)
