My collage shows the memory of place and includes objects that make up the ‘colonial order’ of Auckland city. The silhouettes and columns are recurring ideas in my proposed site map. The figures upside down represent the pre-colonials which had their land built on-top by colonials. The structure of the nature in Albert Park is also unnatural and also has order and symmetry to it, so not only buildings and pathways were controlled but the trees too.

Research for Site Map

The original map of Auckland

This plan of Auckland was made in 1841 by the surveyor-general Felton Mathew.

I noticed how ordered and grid-like the map had been proposed. Interestingly enough the ‘Trafalgar Circus’ looked surprisingly sort-of like the exisiting plan of Albert Park where the fountain is located, and other aspects of the park.

I think that this plan done by Mathews will be useful for creating my A1 collage as it links to the colonial architecture of buildings in Auckland Central, such as the St Paul ST Gallery structured with many old-style columns.
