The custom steel pou was specifically created for the Tawhaki National Aerospace Centre in Canterbury. It was meticulously designed by Fayne Robinson and Morgan Darlison, who drew inspiration from the essence of the whata.
The design incorporates an elevation that mirrors a notable aspect of the landscape, effectively reflecting the branding of Tawhaki. This stunning pou is expertly crafted from steel and was skillfully installed by the team at Art Fetiche. It stands as a beautiful and meaningful symbol at the Tawhaki National Aerospace Centre.
The Tāwhaki Joint Venture, a collaborative effort between the New Zealand government, Te Taumutu Rūnanga, and Wairewa Rūnanga, proudly announces the opening of the Tāwhaki National Aerospace Centre and its new runway at Kaitorete, near Christchurch, New Zealand.
This landmark development signifies a major leap forward for New Zealand’s rapidly expanding aerospace sector. Transforming a previously unpopulated area just 50 minutes from the Ōtautahi Christchurch CBD, the site now boasts a 1-kilometre sealed runway, taxiway, and vertiport, with plans for cutting-edge hangar facilities on the horizon.
