Unitec Tactical Urbanism Studio

Resilio Studio have been working with Unitec’s Department of Landscape Architecture to develop and deliver the third-year design studio teaching Tactical Urbanism. Tactical Urbanism is an emerging design methodology that involves a number of temporary ‘design experiments’ which test the future change an urban environment could take, using a low-cost and low commitment approach. The aim is that these experiments are measured for effectiveness, and those that work are either left in place, or implemented in a more permanent manner. The design studio has collaborated with a wide range of stakeholders and this year we are excited to be collaborating with The Southern Initiative (TSI) together with three community partners, all based in south Auckland.
