Design Studio IIIA – Whitiwhiti Kōrero

Whitiwhiti kōrero: wā ako | learning space

Whitiwhiti kōrero is the process of developing discourse through the verbal exchange of ideas; it suggests the sparking or generation of discussion. This includes the establishment and negotiation of positions and discourses to establish a kaupapa (platform/agenda) and work towards an outcome.

AIM

The aim of this project is to explore how spaces might support learning. It is also about how processes of spatial design practice might stimulate and facilitate transformative conversations (whitiwhiti kōrero and wānanga) around learning spaces. Together with our clients/users, we will learn to think critically about learning spaces – to ‘see learning space differently’ through spatial design.
