Te Hono，新普利茅斯机场航站楼，Beca设计实践。这个重要的项目被认为是一个强有力的建筑和文化门户，它提供了一个机会，将当地的hapū（小部落）Puketapu纳入设计团队，创造一个特定地点的反应，明确反映机场服务的塔拉纳基地区。
Te Hono, New Plymouth Airport Terminal, Beca Design Practice. This significant project, conceived as a strong architectural and cultural gateway, provided an opportunity to integrate the local hapū (subtribe), Puketapu, into the design team to create a site-specific response that distinctly reflects the Taranaki region which the airport serves.
该地的悠久历史与其他设计驱动因素同样重要–如具有挑战性的环境条件和适应未来区域增长的需要。Te Hono的意思是 “连接”，位于60年代从iwi（部落）没收的祖传土地上。60年后，航站楼的建筑将mana whenua（领土权利）置于其核心位置。
The storied history of the site was as important as other design drivers – such as the challenging environmental conditions and the need to accommodate future regional growth. Te Hono, which means “to connect”, is located on ancestral land confiscated from iwi (tribe) in the 1960s. Sixty years later, the architecture of the terminal puts mana whenua (territorial rights) at its heart.
其目的是在建筑结构中表现重要的祖先故事，并选择了六个设计叙事，其中一个是 “从地球升起；从天空降下”，被选为主要主题。它讲述了一个天人Tamarau的故事，他被Rongo-ue-roa（地面人）的人间美景所吸引，于是下凡来见她。这是机场设计的一个自然契合点。
The aim was to represent important ancestral stories in the fabric of the building and six design narratives were chosen with one, The Ascension from the Earth; Descending from the Sky, selected as the principle thematic. It tells the story of Tamarau, a celestial being, who was so captivated by the earthly beauty of Rongo-ue-roa (terrestrial being) that he came down to meet her. It was a natural fit for the design of an airport.
航站楼的屋顶线受到这个起源故事的启发，因为一个形式似乎是从一个景观小丘（Rongo-ue-roa）走上去，与第二个下降的屋顶形式（Tamarau）相遇。这种形式也突出了鸟类翅膀上羽毛的放射状形成和分形图案，是一种有意的尝试，以对比平行设计驱动力的力量。
The roofline of the terminal is inspired by this origin story as one form appears to step up from a landscaped mound (Rongo-ue-roa) to meet the second descending roof form (Tamarau). The form also highlights the radial formation and fractal patterning of the feathers on a bird’s wing and is a deliberate attempt to contrast the strength of parallel design drivers.
建筑物的脊柱方向反映了从山上到Waiongana河口的祖先旅程，这是对历史的进一步认可，同时也有利于寻路，创造了从停车场到出发区再到飞机的自然的、容易协商的连接。在晴朗的日子里，从候机厅可以看到塔拉纳基山（Maunga Taranaki），给来到该地区的游客带来塔拉纳基特有的体验。Manaakitanga–毛利人的好客概念–也支撑着设计的实际方面。建筑物在入口处和空侧的切面弧形 “拥抱 “着旅客，为他们遮风挡雨。
Orienting the spine of the building to reflect an ancestral journey from the mountain to the Waiongana river mouth was a further way to acknowledge history but also useful for wayfinding, creating a natural, easily negotiated connection from parking lot through departure area to the plane. On a clear day, Maunga Taranaki (Mt Taranaki) can be seen from the concourse giving visitors to the region a Taranaki-specific experience. Manaakitanga – the Māori concept of hospitality – underpins practical aspects of the design too. The faceted curved forms of the building at the entrance and airside ‘embrace’ travellers, to shelter them from the elements.
在大厅内，70米长的tukutuku（装饰性格子板）是运营、接待和零售的一个大胆背景。Rongo-ue-roa（陆地生物）用当地特有的hebe的大红色表现，而Tamarau（天体）则用鲜艳的黄色描绘。以 “十字和加号 “为代表的图库针法，不仅体现在面板上，还以微妙的方式贯穿整个建筑。它们象征着团结和联系，并表达了普凯塔普公司、新普利茅斯机场公司和新普利茅斯区议会之间持续的再生关系。
Within the concourse, a 70-metre tukutuku (ornamental lattice panel) is a bold backdrop to operations, hospitality and retail. Rongo-ue-roa (terrestrial being) is represented in scarlet of the local hebe that is endemic to the site and Tamarau, the celestial being, is depicted in vibrant yellow. The stitches of the tukutuku, represented by ‘crosses and plus signs’, feature on the panel itself but also in subtle ways throughout the building. They signify togetherness and connection and speak to the ongoing regenerative relationship between Puketapu hapū, the New Plymouth Airport Company and the New Plymouth District Council.
与普凯塔普的领导团队共同设计新机场的愿景，使得机场对该地区的所有人都有意义。这个项目是一个机会，可以超越正常的咨询角色，建立一个包容性的设计过程，承认并超越过去的冲突。
The vision to co-design the new airport alongside a leadership team from Puketapu has allowed an airport which has meaning for all people of the region. This project was an opportunity to step well beyond a normal consultancy role to establish an inclusive design process that would both acknowledge and transcend the conflicts of the past.
