Text description provided by the architects. Te Oro is a creative facility for young people from the communities of Glen Innes and Panmure. Te Oro emerged from the community itself, supported and funded by Auckland Council. Its purpose is to encourage the creativity of local cultures, both as performers and to impart knowledge; and to create a sense of pride and identity as a catalyst for social renewal. The design process was open and collaborative, involving local artists, cultural advisors, mana whenua, environmental and landscape specialists and the community itself, empowered to make every design decision possible.
