KO TE PŪKĀKĪ | LandLAB_ + Ngāti Whatua Ōrākei https://worldlandscapearchitect.com/ko-te-pukaki-landlab-ngati-whatua-orakei/ Ko Te Pūkākī 2040 (KTP) is a unique NWŌ-led regeneration programme to establish a thriving, resilient environment which places their people, practices and culture at the heart of this programme.

Ko Te Pūkākī is a statement of intent, a manifesto for change, and a call to arms. It establishes a unique urban indigenous practice for environmental regeneration that is deeply interwoven with tribal culture and these lands. It is a collaborative, meaningful, and elegant gift to those who have gone before, to those yet to come, and importantly, to the special place in the world that Ngāti Whātua Ōrākei call theirs.

https://worldlandscapearchitect.com/machicomoco-state-park-nelson-byrd-woltz-landscape-architects/ In Virginia’s vast and varied landscapes, the earth beneath our feet holds the stories of its Indigenous people.

At Machicomoco (meaning "Special Meeting Place"), Nelson Byrd Woltz Landscape Architects (NBW), working closely with Virginia Algonquian tribal members, designed a site that focused on their history, cosmology, and landscape.

From Viaduct to Vibrant: New Seattle Waterfront Park opens
https://worldlandscapearchitect.com/from-viaduct-to-vibrant-new-seattle-waterfront-park-opens/ The new 20-acre Waterfront Park in Seattle recently opened, converting an elevated viaduct highway to a vibrant public space. This landmark project marks a significant transformation, providing connections from downtown Seattle to the stunning waterfront of Elliott Bay. The waterfront now serves as Seattle’s “Front Porch,” offering public access, civic events, health and wellness activities, biodiverse habitats, and fresh experiences—all set against breathtaking views across the Bay and back towards the city.

The City and Field Operations realised an ambitious vision developed in collaboration with our partners at Jacobs Engineering, WSP, HNTB, and many others, including key stakeholders, community groups, and indigenous Tribal representatives.
