Whare Māori - The Wharenui (Episode Two)
Television (Full Length Episode) – 2011
The series is beautifully shot local cultural history through architecture, very much the story of how the built environment helps inform who we are.– Diana Wichtel, Listener, 4 July 2011
No other television programme has done as much to educate the public or to showcase examples of Maori architecture.– sub.sist blog, 2011
Often referred to as a living ancestor, the wharenui is one of our most unique architectural structures.– Presenter Rau Hoskins
