NGONGOTAHA SPRINGS
MAY 2022
Te rotorua-nui-a-kahumatamomoe, better known as rotorua, is the centre of maori culture and a hotspot of geothermal activity. Tourisim industies and covid-19 has forced the tight maori communities apart in rotorua. Community centres are replaced in favour of attractions and more profitable programs. The healing properties of the hot springs in the area has long since been a way for the local maori community to connect and share cultural traditions. This project proposes a communal bath-house to restore and establish cultural relatioships and education.
