Richard B. Gump South Pacific Research Station

09 Jun, 05 AM - 17 Jun, 05 AM

We are a group of university students and faculty from Woodbury University in Los Angeles. Our students are undergraduate and graduate students studying architecture and interior architecture, and immersing themselves into Polynesian culture, politics, language and craft. In Tahiti, we have been particularly fortunate to work with people from the University of French Polynesia and also with students and the Director of the Craft School in Papeete (Centre de Metiers d'Arts). At both the institutions our students work with Polynesian students learning indigenous culture and crafts. We will do something similar in New Zealand, and to meet and learn from local Maoris. We hope that through this additional experience we may find cultural exchanges that bring new appreciation for the rich cultures and diversity of different Polynesian cultures. These field experiences with different Polynesian cultures and additional site analysis and research at the Gump station will lead to the design of a hypothetical architectural project.
