Te Kukune Screens
The Te Kukune Screen is an interior partition created for a multi-use teaching space in Victoria University of Wellington’s Faculty of Architecture and Design. The screen, constructed of folded brightly coloured aluminium panels, reflects the spirit of innovation and emphasis on digital design tools and processes that are taught within contemporary Architecture and Design. Conceptually, the screen intends to promote cultural inclusivity and cross-disciplinarity within the learning environment through the playful transparency of the perforated pattern that is legible across the panels. The pattern, a representation of the Māori concept Te Kukune, expresses the spark and extension of energy and potentiality that occurs in the intersection of two ideas or entities.

Collaboration between Tonya Sweet, Kevin Sweet, and David Hakaraia.

Installed in Victoria University of Wellington’s School of Architecture and Design, Wellington, New Zealand
