Design Intent:

Resettlement is a conceptual urban design project that aims to centralise refugee and cultural support within New Zealand, in response to the world refugee crisis. The project will transform central-north Christchurch into a diverse, welcoming and culturally active precinct in support of the South Island’s first primary Refugee Resettlement Centre. Strengthened intra-city resource connections, vibrant public and private spaces and re-envisioned refugee resettlement and integration approaches will heighten cultural value and appreciation within our communities and pave the way for design models across Aotearoa and the world
