2015 Field Tour: Coast/Koukoraurata

Description

The SoLA Field Tour for this year saw 36 students and 3 staff embark on COAST, a 5-day immersion in the experience and study of the magical landscape where land and water meet. Destinations included Akaroa, Onawe Peninula, Sumner, Kaiapoi Pa and Township, Pegasus Town, Gore Bay, and Kaikoura – a coastal voyage from peninsula to peninsula.

Being in this landscape, or seascape, offered windy and salty, yet sunny, experiences drawing, analysing, walking, viewing, building and even cruising on the high seas! (seasonality did not permit literal immersion). With a focus on natural processes, cultural interpretations, coastal developments, design interventions and materiality, students have taken with them engaging and memorable experiences.

It must also be noted that Nancy, Don and Shona were well-impressed with the students’ cooking and cleaning skills… despite them probably not doing them at home!
