I am a Master of Architecture and Future Environments student, and my research focuses on integrating Mฤtauranga Mฤori principles into circular design through Construction 4.0.

Deeply connected to my Mฤori heritage, I explore how tikanga Ngฤpuhi and the role of a kaitiaki can inform sustainable design practices. By blending traditional Mฤori values with modern construction methodologies, I aim to create a harmonious relationship between Mฤori cultural identity and the future of sustainable design, contributing to a more holistic approach to architecture and construction.
