Te Raukura, Cultural building at Taranaki Street Wharf, Wellington, New Zealand
The Te Raukura structure features a triangular patterned roof made of zinc panels and stands between the Civic Centre and Te Papa Tongarewa Museum.
The location marks the former site of Te Aro Pa, which remained one of Wellington's largest Maori settlements until the 1880s.
The building incorporates traditional Maori design elements through carved features, including maihi and pare created by artist Rangi Kipa.
Te Raukura contains multiple facilities, including a conference center, the Karaka Cafe, and spaces dedicated to housing ceremonial waka vessels.
The architectural design represents a human body wearing a korowai, with zinc panels forming patterns that connect to the ancestral mountain Taranaki.
