Jade Kake shares her process and projects at Matakohe Architecture and Urbanism
About the speaker
Jade Kake (Ngāpuhi, Ngāti Whakaue, Te Whakatōhea) is an architectural designer and writer. She leads a small team at Matakohe Architecture and Urbanism, a Whangārei-based kaupapa Māori design studio which she founded in mid-2018. Matakohe works with Māori organisations on their marae, papakāinga and civic projects, and with mana whenua groups to express their cultural values and narratives through the design of their physical environments.
Jade is currently leading several projects to support the re-establishment and development of papakāinga within Whangārei district and leading the cultural narrative integration component on a number of public space projects within Whangārei city. In 2018, she hosted and produced Indigenous Urbanism, a podcast about the spaces we inhabit, and the community drivers and practitioners who are shaping these environments and decolonising through design. She has written for a variety of housing and architecture magazines and contributed chapters to several books on architecture and urbanism.
Join us Friday 26th March to hear from the incredible Jade Kake on the theme of Ripple, her processes and work at Matakohe.
