On 9 July 2020 a glass sculpture by Auckland artist [[Te Rongo Kirkwood]] (Ngai Tai ki Tamaki, Wai o Hua, Te Kawerau a Maki) was installed in the area named 'Pūrerehua'. The art work, named 'Te Kaeaea', is a life size representation of the now extinct Hokioi ([[Haast's Eagle]]). With a wingspan over 3 metres, these huge and powerful native birds used to prey on Moa and were the largest eagles known to have existed. They lived on the outer fringes of the forest and would swoop down on prey from high heights. There are a number of Hakangeri (war-chants) in Tamaki Makaurau and in Waikato that talk about this bird. |

Te Manawa (Westgate) is a community hub located in Auckland, New Zealand. It is Auckland Council’s first fully-integrated community hub which unofficially opened its doors to the public on 26 March 2019.[1] The official opening by the Mayor of Auckland Phil Goff took place on 6 April 2019 which was followed by a community open day attracting around 5,000 visitors. Te Manawa's services and resources include a library, Council Services, rooms for hire, commercial kitchen, studios, creative spaces, community programmes, work and study areas along with a Citizens Advice Bureau. It immediately serves the suburbs of Westgate, Massey, West Harbour and Hobsonville along with visitors from across Auckland.
Building
[edit]Te Manawa (formally known as Westgate Library and Multi-Purpose Facility) is the central piece of work of the new Westgate town centre development. It was designed by Warren and Mahoney and built by Fletcher Construction. This project won the New Zealand Institute of Architects Auckland Awards Public Architecture in 2020[2][3][4] and DINZ (Designers Institute of New Zealand) Best Awards 2019 – Silver Pin - Public & Institutional Spaces.[4] Its interior design was one of the four shortlisted Interior Awards Winners under Civil category in 2019.[5]
Te Manawa has been awarded a 5 Green Star - NZ Custom Design Certified Rating by the New Zealand Green Building Council (NZGBC).[6] Its green design includes stormwater detention and re-use, solar power and sensory heating and air-conditioning.
Naming
[edit]The facility was gifted the te reo Māori name 'Te Manawa' by Matua Heta Tobin of Ngāti Whātua Ngā Maunga Whakahii o Kaipara who had also gifted the name Te Pūmanawa (the beating heart) for the wider Westgate development and the Square which adjoins Te Manawa.[7] Te Manawa means ‘the heart’[8] and reflects the buildings purpose to be at the heart of the community, a place where people are the life blood.[1]
Te reo Māori names were also gifted for the internal rooms to reflect the activity and thinking that would happen in these areas. Sadly, Heta Tobin passed away before Te Manawa opened but his gift remains as a legacy to the building project and the community.
Art
[edit]
A distinctive feature and anchoring piece of interior architectural work is in the children's area on Level 1 named 'Te Whare Tapere' (meaning a place of entertainment, story-telling, dance, games, music and other entertainment[9]). The space was designed by multidisciplinary award-winning artist Robin Rawstorne[1] and was inspired by the concept of a pool in the middle of a forest glade with ripples radiating outwards. The ripples reflect the growing levels of a young readers development. The space was designed to encourage play, ownership and investigation and includes a stage for story-telling and performances, nooks to curl up in and moveable book bins to change the area's shape and size.[10]
On 9 July 2020 a glass sculpture by Auckland artist Te Rongo Kirkwood (Ngai Tai ki Tamaki, Wai o Hua, Te Kawerau a Maki) was installed in the area named 'Pūrerehua'. The art work, named 'Te Kaeaea', is a life size representation of the now extinct Hokioi (Haast's Eagle). With a wingspan over 3 metres, these huge and powerful native birds used to prey on Moa and were the largest eagles known to have existed. They lived on the outer fringes of the forest and would swoop down on prey from high heights. There are a number of Hakangeri (war-chants) in Tamaki Makaurau and in Waikato that talk about this bird.
In December 2020 the artwork 'Te Ara Tiatia' by Mei Hill (Ngati Whatua, Ngapuhi, Te Aupouri, Te Rarawa) was installed. Consisting of three glass panels on the exterior of Te Manawa the work is Inspired by the late kaumatua, Heta Tobin, who had long stressed the importance of learning and celebrating Matauranga Māori - Māori Knowledge. Te Ara Tiatia is one of the first public artworks of scale to celebrate Te Reo Maori. It is also a learning tool for the viewer to explore and discover 'kupu' meaningful to their own journey.
