Te Koha – meaning gift, offering – provided a space for visitors to the 2016 Biennale Architettura di Venezia interested in learning more about New Zealand Architecture and Design and to immerse themselves in the materials of our emerging design culture.

During the 2016 Venice Architecture Biennale, Te Koha hosted events organised by event patrons, partners and supporters. It was a base for cultural events, including symposia on architecture, innovation, and the sciences. Te Koha was also supported by Te Mātau – meaning knowledge, understanding –  a small reading space in which visitors to New Zealand’s exhibition can discover more about creative industries through selected publications and writings.
