In the Archipelago of the Pacific Ocean, north east from New Zealand lies Tongatapu the Sacred South of the Pacific. North east from Tongatapu, lies Vava’u nicknamed the Feke which means octopus. Within this project the Feke is used to uncover the narrative displaying the interconnectedness of the people and their place within the Pacific. By celebrating the cultural richness of its identity, dispelling the notion of pertaining to the pace of the west, it allowed new projected imaginings that empowers as oppose to depreciates, its difference to convention. Architecture provides the permanence by activating the ground we reside on, Ground, sea and sky being the universal story we share. Icao Tiseli Tutor(s)
