This episode explores how Edwards White engages in cultural partnership — working closely with mana whenua and Māori artists to design with care, respect and long-term connection. Through projects like Te Ara Pekapeka Bridge and the Hamilton Gardens Visitor Centre, we hear how kaupapa Māori thinking is embedded in the design process and how architecture can give form to stories, values and relationships that are deeply rooted in place. Guests: Grant Edwards, Harry Croucher (Architects) and Eugene Kara (Artist and Cultural Advisor).
