Futuna Chapel

Die Futuna Chapel (Futuna-Kapelle) ist ein römisch-katholisches Kirchengebäude in Wellington, der Hauptstadt Neuseelands, das eine außergewöhnliche Architektur besitzt und 1968 mit der Goldmedaille des New Zealand Institute of Architects ausgezeichnet wurde. Namensherkunft Der Name der Kapelle wurde in Gedenken an den katholischen Missionar Pierre Chanel vergeben, der am 28. April 1841 auf der französisch-polynesischen Insel Futuna ermordet wurde. Geographie Das Gebäude befindet sich in Wellington im westlich liegenden Stadtteil Karori und ist von der Einliegerstraße Futuna Close, die von der Friend Street nach Norden hin abzweigt, zugänglich. Das Kirchengebäude ist mit seiner Architektur nach Südsüdost und Westsüdwest ausgerichtet, wo sich an letzterer genannten Seite auch der Haupteingang befindet. Vom Heritage New Zealand wird die Adresse mit 62 Friend Street angegeben. Geschichte 1936 gründete sich in Wellington die St Joseph's Retreat Guild, die 1947 das Grundstück erwarb, auf dem 1961 von den Maristen die Futuna Chapel errichtet wurde. Der Bau der Kirche und des Exerzitienhauses dauerte von der Planung bis zur Fertigstellung drei Jahre. Mit der Planung wurde seinerzeit der Architekt John Colin Scott beauftragt, der schon bereit für mehrere Kirchenbauten in Neuseeland verantwortlich gezeichnet hatte. Am 19. März 1961 wurde die Kirche ihrer Bestimmung übergeben. Mit ihrer Eröffnung wurde die Kirche zum Sinnbild moderner eigenständiger Architektur Neuseelands mit Bezügen zur Māori-Kultur. Für ihre Architektur wurde das Gebäude und damit auch der Architekt im Jahr 1968 mit der Goldmedaille des New Zealand Institute of Architects (NZIA) ausgezeichnet, gefolgt von dem 25 Jahre Award des Instituts im Jahr 1986. Der Architekt John Scott wurde 1999 postum für sein Lebenswerk mit der Gold Medal des NZIA ausgezeichnet. Im Jahr 2000 hatte die Maristen keine Verwendung mehr für das gesamte Bauwerk und verkauften es an einem Bauunternehmer. Dieser errichtete auf den angrenzenden Grundstücken Häuser und nutze die Kapelle als Materiallager. Um die Kirche vor dem Verfall zu retten und als historisches Denkmal zu erhalten, gründete sich am 16. April 2003 der Friends of Futuna Charitable Trust. Dieser sammelte Spenden und konnte nach langen Verhandlungen das Grundstück und das Gebäude schließlich erwerben. Im Jahr 2009 konnten Restaurierungsarbeiten zum Erhalt des Gebäudes vorgenommen werden. Denkmalschutz Am 28. Mai 1999 wurde das Gebäude in die Liste der Historic Place Category 1 des New Zealand Historic Places Trust aufgenommen und wurde damit als ein Gebäude von besonderer und herausragender geschichtlicher und kultureller Bedeutung gewürdigt.

Gifford Observatory

The Gifford Observatory is an astronomical observation facility located in the suburb of Mount Victoria, Wellington, New Zealand. Operated by the Gifford Observatory Trust with the intent of making it available for use to Wellington school children, it is primarily used by secondary school students, and members of the Wellington Astronomical Society. History of the observatory The observatory was first established in 1912 by the efforts of Charles Gifford, a science teacher. The observatory was moved to the current site in 1926, on land that is now occupied in trust by Wellington College and Wellington East Girls' College. The observatory fell into disrepair in the late 1970s due to a momentary lack of time and enthusiasm from staff and students at the school. A trust was established in 1998 by a small group of interested teachers and amateur astronomers from the Wellington Astronomical Society, with the goal of restoring the observatory to a working state. On March 25, 2002, the observatory was successfully re-opened by William Pickering, who had been a frequent user of the observatory during his school days. Equipment Since being moved to its present location in 1924, the observatory has housed a 130 mm Zeiss refracting telescope. The telescope was equipped with a clockwork drive until it was replaced by a motor drive in the mid-1960s. The telescope was kept in storage during the observatory's disrepair throughout the 1980s and 1990s. It was returned to the observatory following the restoration.

Government Gardens

The Government Gardens is a public park, partly laid out as gardens, located beside Lake Rotorua in central Rotorua, Bay of Plenty, North Island, New Zealand. It was built by the government as a tourism attraction, and is still a major tourism destination in New Zealand. Facilities The Rotorua Museum, housed in the former Bath House building, looks over the Government Gardens. There are sports facilities, including the Blue Baths swimming pool, a bowling green, and a croquet lawn. There is also a bandstand. The Polynesian Spa is close by, beside Lake Rotorua. History Part of the site was known to the Māori people as Paepaehakumanu and the northern part as Motutara. The area known as Paepaehakumanu was a bird-snaring ground, which led to its name. The area is of historical significance to the local Maori, with battles having been fought here. The Maori gave 50 acres of the land to the British Crown in the late 1800s. The combined Paepaehakumanu and Motutara area became known as the Sanatorium Reserve, or more commonly, the Government Gardens. The New Zealand Government opened a large bath house here in 1908. A second building, the Blue Baths, opened in 1933, amidst much controversy, as mixed bathing was accommodated. The Blue Baths were closed in 1982, and restored in 1999–2000. The original 1908 Bath House closed to bathing in 1966. The building was extensively renovated in 1995 and converted into a museum. Heritage registrations A number of items are covered by formal registrations by Heritage New Zealand. The former Bath House, now Rotorua Museum, and the Blue Baths have Category I registrations. Four structures have Category II registrations, including the Prince's Arch and Gateway which was built for the 1901 royal visit of the Duke and Duchess of York; this structure is now unique in New Zealand. The area as a whole is also covered by a Historic Area registration. References
Government Gardens

A Government Gardens (magyarul „Kormányzati kertek”) Rotorua új-zélandi üdülőtelepülés nagy múltú városi parkja. Története, leírása A körülbelül 20 hektárnyi (50 acre) terület a Rotoruai-tó partján, a mai Rotorua üdülőváros szélén terül el. Eredeti maori nyelvű neve Paepaekumana volt, és jelentős szerepet kapott a maorik történelmében, mivel korábban nagy csatákat vívtak errefelé a különböző törzsek. Az 1800-as évek végén maori tulajdonosai a brit koronának adományozták a földterületet „a világ népei javára”. A geotermikus hőforrásokkal szabdalt, bozóttal borított területet eztán megtisztították és különleges fákat ültettek, amik közül néhány máig itt díszlik, mint a többtörzsű japán feketefenyő, valamint egy különleges, „könnyező” kaliforniai ciprusféle. A park területén építették fel az új-zélandi kormány első nagy turisztikai beruházását, a vulkáni hőforrások vizét gyógyászati célokra hasznosító Fürdőházat, amelynek Erzsébet-kori Tudor-stílusú épületében ma a Rotoruai Művészeti és Történelmi Múzeum található. Az 1930-as évek első felében újabb fürdőépületet emeltek, ezúttal nem annyira gyógyfürdői célokra, hanem mediterrán stílusú uszoda- és strandkomplexumként Blue Baths (Kék fürdők) néven. A maga korában úttörő jellegű létesítmény állapota az 1980-as évekre leromlott, ekkor hosszabb restaurációs munka következett, de a kilencvenes évek óta megújulva, újra fogadja a vendégeket. A parkban az új-zélandi szempontból egzotikus, európai és észak-amerikai fák, bokrok mellett sétányok, hagyományos teázók, szabadtéri krokett- és füves bowling-pályák is vannak.
