St Paul Street Tactical Urbanism Initiative
This tactical urbanism initiative for St Paul Street replaces an earlier temporary upgrade with a durable placemaking solution. The spatial narrative draws from the site’s geography, with looping bike racks evoking the flow of water and textured concrete benches echoing the land’s contours. Together, these elements position the street as both a point of passage and a place to pause, linger, and gather.
Commissioned by Auckland Council’s Tāmaki Makaurau Design Ope unit, the project’s concept was developed in collaboration with a select team from AUT’s School of Art & Design. For more details, see here.
Concrete Anamnesis
Concrete Anamnesis traces Tāmaki Makaurau’s vanished shoreline through a series of spatial interventions that recall where land once met sea. At Fanshawe Street, the project activates a surviving bluestone retaining wall, using sculptural concrete forms to echo its coastal past and reanimate this remnant as a living threshold in the city.
Intermission
Intermission explores the urban void between the former Imperial Hotel and the Hotel Grand Windsor in Fort Lane. Engaging this sliver of absence as a site of potential, the speculative intervention uses surface, structure, and light to hold the void open as a moment of pause, encounter, and reflection within the city’s momentum.
The Fernery
Concrete leaf impressions line the wall to a proposed new threshold for the Auckland Domain Fernery. Cast from fallen London plane leaves, the tiles echo the Domain’s monuments to memory and quietly honour the site’s botanical layers. This tactile intervention preserves the ephemeral and invites visitors to reflect on memory, landscape, and what endures.
