Aotea Utanganui – Museum of South Taranaki

The Aotea Utanganui – Museum of South Taranaki, formerly known as the South Taranaki District Museum, is located Pātea, South Taranaki, New Zealand. The museum is located on State Highway 3 through Pātea. The central section of the museum is the oldest colonial building in South Taranaki. The museum underwent renovations from 2008 to 2011. History It was built in 1869 and housed Taplin and Muir's General Store at the time of the first government sale of town sections in 1870. The origins of the museum can be found within the Pātea Historical Society. Its inaugural chair, G Livingston Baker QSM, was instrumental in the establishment of a local repository for the history of the former Patea Borough and County Council's, and the families who had settled in the area. The collection of the museum includes paintings such as Hay-Campbell and Haddon's Arrival of Turi, commissioned in 1933 to commemorate the arrival of the eponymous ancestor of Ngati Ruanui and Ngā Rauru, Turi in the 14th century. Other material relating to the Pātea Māori Club can also be found in the collection. Organisation From 2001 South Taranaki District Council provided an annual operating grant to the South Taranaki District Museum Trust. Through the adoption of the South Taranaki District Council's Arts, Culture and Heritage Policy, the Museum Trust and Council entered into a formal partnership which provided the shared objective of providing heritage services across the wider South Taranaki District. The Trust cares for the collection, on behalf of the wider community of South Taranaki District, and is responsible for the governance. The Council provides the professional staff for the museum. The museum closed its doors on 13 September 2008 to undergo a million dollar redevelopment, reopening on 30 April 2011. Architectural firm BSM Group Architects Ltd from Wanganui were commissioned to design the complex. Artifacts & great history have been conserved in the design while continuing the story of local iwi. The building was blessed later that year. The museum will have a new roof, larger archive, a public research and reading room, education space, new exhibition spaces and exhibitions, and upgraded collection stores.

Aquinas College, Otago

Aquinas College is one of the Residential Colleges of the University of Otago, named after St. Thomas Aquinas, located in the suburb of Dalmore. Formerly a Roman Catholic institution in the care of the Dominican Order from the 1950s, between the early 1980s and 1988, the college was owned by the Elim Pentecostal Church, where it was used primarily by parishioners, but also by backpackers and students. The college was bought by the university in 1988 and was run for a time under the name Dalmore House, with the original name later restored. Aquinas College maintains much of the 1950s architecture, but recently there have been major facility upgrades. The college currently houses 152 university students, making it one of the smaller University of Otago residential colleges. Notable among its facilities is its gymnasium, being the only college to have an indoor basketball court. Aquinas was originally an all-male facility, with nearby Dominican Hall serving as a sister college for female students. Notable residents References "Busting a Gut". Retrieved 13 November 2014.

Arapuni Suspension Bridge

The Arapuni Suspension Bridge is located just downstream from the Arapuni Power Station on the Waikato River in the South Waikato District of New Zealand. The 152-metre (499 ft) suspension bridge in the bush-lined gorge was built in the mid-1920s to allow workers from the village of Arapuni to access the power station construction site. History The bridge spans the Arapuni gorge about 1.5 kilometres (0.93 mi) downstream from the Arapuni Dam. As it was a relatively simple ancillary structure associated with what at the time was New Zealand's largest civil engineering project, the suspension bridge itself received little mention in progress reports and media accounts. Construction started in May 1925 and finished sometime in the three months after April 1926. The bridge does not seem to have had a formal opening function. The bridge connected "top camp" (which eventually became the Arapuni township) with the western side of the gorge. "Top camp" accommodated the workmen employed on construction of the spillway, powerhouse and penstock. The bridge was registered a Category II historic place by the Historic Places Trust on 21 April 1994. Engineering The bridge was designed by David Rowell & Co. from Westminster, London. The structure is likely to have been shipped prefabricated from England, and was erected by the British contractors for the Arapuni dam and power station project, Armstrong Whitworth. It is one of the longest suspension footbridges in the country. The bridge has a span of 152.4 metres (500 ft) and is 8 metres (26 ft) higher when measured from true left (i.e. the left side when looking downriver) to true right. It has a high steel lattice tower on the true left. On the true right, the bridge footing is cut into the side of the river bank and the foundation for the suspension cables is built on top of the cliff. Today The bridge is a popular tourist destination. The site can be accessed via a walkway starting on Arapuni Road opposite Rabone Street. Bridge users are rewarded with views of the scenic gorge. Geological features can be seen, and the cliffs on the true right of the landing are of volcanic origin and formed by ignimbrite blocks, which are vertically fissured by cooling stresses. The bridge is sometimes called the Arapuni Swing Bridge, for example on signs along the walkway to the bridge. In New Zealand, the term 'swing bridge' is commonly used to refer to suspension bridges that act as footbridges because they 'swing' as pedestrians walk across. The Waikato River Trails, which is under construction as part of the New Zealand Cycle Trail, will pass the bridge on the true right of the Waikato River.

ГЕС Арапуні

ГЕС Арапуні – гідроелектростанція на Північному острові Нової Зеландії. Знаходячись між ГЕС Ваїпапа (вище по течії) та ГЕС Карапіро, входить до складу каскаду на річці Ваїкато, яка тече з центрального Вулканічного плато Північного острова у північно-західному напрямку та впадає до Тасманового моря за чотири десятки кілометрів від Окленду. В межах проекту річку перекрили бетонною арковою греблею висотою 64 метри та довжиною 94 метри з товщиною по гребеню 5,8 метра. Вона утримує резервуар з площею поверхні 9,4 км2 та об’ємом 145 млн м3, в якому припустиме коливання рівня поверхні між позначками 109 та 111,7 метра НРМ. Зі сховища по лівобережжю прямує дериваційний канал довжиною 1,2 км, який переходить у вісім напірних водоводів діаметром 3,6 метра. В машинному залі у 1929 році ввели в експлуатацію три турбіни типу Френсіс потужністю по 15 МВт. Запуск четвертого такого ж гідроагрегату затримався до 1932-го, оскільки було необхідним провести значні роботи з усунення виявлених у системі протікань. Ще за шість років стали до ладу два агрегати наступної черги з одиничною потужністю 21,6 МВт. Війна затримала завершення робіт, тому дві останні турбіни ввели у 1946-му. Це дозволило поставити на модернізацію першу чергу, яка повернулась до роботи в 1947-му з чотирма турбінами потужність по 17,85 МВт. Таким чином, загальний показник станції зріс до 157,8 МВт. В подальшому ГЕС прйшла ще через кілька етапів модернізації (зокрема, великі роботи у 1989-1990 на першій черзі та на початку 2000-х на другій), внаслідок чого станом на середину 2010-х її загальна потужність досягла 204 МВт. Обладнання ГЕС використовує напір у 53 метри та забезпечує виробництво 805 млн кВт-год електроенергії на рік. Видача продукції відбувається по ЛЕП, розрахованій на роботу під напругою 110 кВ.

Aratiatia Power Station

Aratiatia Power Station is a hydroelectric power station on the Waikato River, in the North Island of New Zealand. It is the first hydroelectric power station on the Waikato River, and is located 13 kilometres (8.1 mi) downstream of Lake Taupō. Aratiatia is owned and operated by Mercury Energy. Aratiatia is a largely run-of-the-river station, as it generates electricity from water from the Lake Taupō control gates and to the Ōhakuri Power Station. It does, however, have a 55-hectare (140-acre) lake behind the station for temporary storage. The New Zealand Ministry for Culture and Heritage gives a translation of "pegged ladder" for Aratiatia. Aratiatia Rapids Before construction of the dam and hydro station, the Aratiatia Rapids were a prominent feature on the Waikato River; a scenic reserve from 1906. The dam construction meant that no water flowed over the rapids. However, several times a day, the Aratiatia dam gates of the Waikato River are opened, which restores the rapids to their normal operation. There are several public lookout points on the high rock bluffs that dominate this turbulent stretch of Aratiatia Rapids.

ГЕС Aratiatia

ГЕС Aratiatia – гідроелектростанція на Північному острові Нової Зеландії. Знаходячись між ГЕС Токаану (вище по сточищу) та ГЕС Охакурі, входить до складу каскаду на річці Ваїкато, яка тече з центрального Вулканічного плато Північного острова у північно-західному напрямку та впадає до Тасманового моря за чотири десятки кілометрів від Окленду. Річку за 14 км після витоку з озера Таупо (розташована в кальдері однойменного вулкану найбільша внутрішня водойма країни) перекрили греблею Aratiatia. Ця споруда створює лише малий резервуар з площею поверхні 0,55 км2, припустиме коливання рівня води в якому між позначками 336 та 337,8 метра НРМ дозволяє регулювати роботу гідроагрегатів у добовому режимі. В лівій частині греблі облаштовано водозабір, від якого ресурс подається до розташованого за 0,4 км машинного залу. Введену в експлуатацію у 1964 році станцію обладнали трьома турбінами типу Френсіс потужністю по 30 МВт, які при напорі у 33,5 метра забезпечували виробництво 330 млн кВт-год електроенергії на рік. У 2010-х роках з австрійською компанією Andritz уклали угоду на модернізацію гідроагрегатів до показника у 31,4 МВт. Відпрацьована вода по відвідному каналу довжиною 0,1 км повертається до річки. Зйомки «Хоббіту» Розташовану нижче за станцію ділянку порогів Aratiatia використали для зйомок одного з епізодів фільму «Хоббіт: Пустка Смоґа», а саме, коли загін гномів, втікаючи від короля ельфів Трандуїла, сплавляється по бурхливій річці у винних бочках. Під час зйомок бочки кидали у воду перед порогами та виловлювали по їх завершенні – втім, актори були додані до «плавзасобів» методами комп’ютерної графіки. Примітки

Auckland Art Gallery Toi o Tāmaki

De Auckland Art Gallery Toi o Tāmaki is een kunstmuseum in Auckland, Nieuw-Zeeland. Het museum beschikt over circa 17.000 kunstvoorwerpen. Het museum werd op 17 februari 1888 geopend en deelde het gebouw toen nog met de Auckland Free Public Library. Een belangrijke bijdrage aan de kunstcollectie werd destijds geleverd door de in 1885 overleden Nieuw-Zeelandse filantroop James Tannock Mackelvie. Het museum heeft sindsdien meerdere giften ontvangen, waaronder 15 kunstwerken uit de collectie van de Amerikaanse zakenman Julian Robertson in 2009. In 1971 verhuisde de Auckland Free Public Library naar een ander pand in de stad. In 2008 werd besloten tot een uitbreiding van het museum, waarbij tevens de bestaande gebouwen - deels nog uit 1887 en 1916 - werden gerenoveerd. Het bouwproject werd in 2011 afgerond. In de beginjaren bestond de museumcollectie voornamelijk uit Europese kunstwerken, maar in de loop der tijd breidde de collectie zich uit met kunst uit Nieuw-Zeeland en eilanden in de Stille Oceaan. Het betreft zowel historische kunstwerken als moderne en hedendaagse kunst. Externe link Officiële website
Auckland Baptist Tabernacle

The Auckland Baptist Tabernacle is a Baptist church located near the corner of Queen Street and Karangahape Road, at the edge of Auckland central business district in New Zealand. It is affiliated with the Baptist Churches of New Zealand. History The Auckland Baptist Tabernacle was formed by Richard Shalders and 14 others in 1855 in the then fledgling colonial town of Auckland. By the late 1860s, a sizeable chapel had been built on Wellesley Street and the church flourished. In 1881, Thomas Spurgeon, son of the famous C. H. Spurgeon, accepted the role of pastor and the church rapidly outgrew first the Wellesley Street Chapel, and then the Symonds Street Choral Hall. A prominent site at the top of Queen Street was secured. Initially it was intended that the church would face Karangahape Road but the plans were revised so it was actually constructed with the main façade on Queen Street. This meant the portico was visible from the harbour. Although one of the biggest buildings to be constructed in the city at the time, it took only one year to build from 1884 to 1885. As well as having very good acoustics its auditorium was also the largest room in the city, able to accommodate over 1500 people. The building was opened to the wider community on 12 May 1885, where a special tithe was taken to cover the final £100, rendering the church debt free. Designed by a local architect Edmund Bell, the building was directly based on the Metropolitan Tabernacle in London and featured the same columned portico derived from the Pantheon in Rome. The building is listed by Heritage New Zealand as a Category I Historic Place. A Greenwich clock was gifted by Greenwich Baptist Church, pastored by Thomas Spurgeon's non-identical twin brother. The clock remains a feature of the auditorium today. One of the elders of the Baptist church who championed the construction of the Auckland Tabernacle was Charles Blomfield. Blomfield was a sign writer and interior decorator who operated from a shop adjacent to the Tabernacle, although he is mostly known for his landscape paintings, especially of the Pink and White Terraces. The neo-classical stencil work on the ceiling of the main auditorium was done by Charles and his brother Samuel.

Aucklandi baptista imaház

Az aucklandi baptista imaház épülete 1885-ben készült el a legnagyobb új-zélandi város főutcája, a Queen Street és a Karangahape Road sarkán, a város központi üzleti negyedének a szélén. Története Az aucklandi baptista közösség 1855-ben alakult és az 1880-as évek elejére kinőtt kis kápolnáját. Egy új templom céljára kiválasztották a gyorsan fejlődő város főutcájának egyik kiemelkedő pontját, úgy, hogy a leendő homlokzat látható legyen már a kikötőből. A tervező Edmund Bell helyi építész volt, akinek terveit a londoni Metropolitan baptista templom és a római Pantheon inspirálta. Az építkezés mindössze egy évet vett igénybe, pedig a korabeli város egyik legnagyobb épülete lett, 1500 személyt befogadó nagyteremmel. A neoklasszikus stílusú templom óráját Greenwichben készítették. A mennyezet díszítésében nagy részt vállalt Charles Blomfield festő, belsőépítész, aki műhelye, műterme az épület szomszédságában helyezkedett el. Az imaház 1885. május 12-én nyílt meg.

Auckland Ferry Terminal

The Auckland Ferry Terminal, also called the Downtown Ferry Terminal, is the hub of the Auckland ferry network, connecting the city centre with coastal and inner-harbour suburbs and islands of the Hauraki Gulf. It is located on the southern edge of the Waitemata Harbour and bounded by Quay Street. The Edwardian Baroque Ferry Building is the focal point of the ferry terminal, with ferries departing from in front of it at a modern terminal constructed in 2021. Ferry Building By the early 20th century, the Auckland Harbour Board recognised the need for a dedicated ferry building in Auckland. Original plans were for a five-storey structure, but after public outrage at the height, a design of four storeys and a clock tower was proposed. The plan was similar to that of the San Francisco Ferry Building. The building was designed by Alex Wiseman, and erected by Philcox and Sons. It was constructed from 1909 to 1912, and is made of sandstone and brick with a base of Coromandel granite, on reclaimed land. It cost £67,944, a large sum for the day. The ferry building was not built as part of the terminal but instead was designed to serve as a focal point for the Auckland ferry service and to provide income for the harbour board via leases. The main ferry operators, the Devonport Steam Ferry Company and the Takapuna Tramways Ferry Company, both had headquarters in the building. The ferry building was the major departure point for people travelling to the North Shore until 1959, when the Auckland Harbour Bridge was opened. This led to a decline in ferry traffic and a slow decline for the building. A new ferry building was built next to it in 1982 and a report released that year said that extensive renovations were needed to bring the Edwardian building up to earthquake and fire code standards. The Harbour Board were divided over whether to keep the building, but following strong public opinion decided to renovate it. It was extensively restored from 1986 and reopened by the Governor General on 5 November 1988. New ferry terminal In 2021 Auckland Transport invested $42 million creating six new ferry berths to expand the capacity to several thousand passengers an hour, a capacity that is unlikely to be reached for several decades. The more contemporary ferry piers and waiting area were constructed mostly as an open-sided structure with a curved seagull/sail-roof, which together with ornamental turrets is designed to evoke ships berthed behind the original building. It also needed to be of a low profile to retain building views, and was designed by architect Murray Day to be easily maintainable and expandable.

Terminal de Ferry de Auckland

La Terminal de Ferry de Auckland, en inglés Auckland Ferry Terminal, es el centro de la red de ferris de Auckland que conectan Auckland City con North Shore City y otros lugares de Waitakere y Manukau. La terminal está en el paseo marítimo de Auckland waterfront, en el Distrito Financiero de Auckland. Está en el extremo norte de Queen Street, frente al Britomart Transport Centre, el centro de los autobuses y trenes de la ciudad. Instalaciones La terminal se compone de dos elementos principales: un antiguo edificio amarillo de estilo eduardiano barroco frente a Queen Street y la ciudad; y los nuevos muelles y la sala de espera (la verdadera terminal de ferry actual) frente al Puerto de Waitemata. Edificio antiguo El edificio denominado habitualmente Terminal de Ferry de Auckland fue diseñado por Alex Wiseman y construido por Philcox and Sons. Completado en 1912 en tierras ganadas al mar con arenisca y ladrillos sobre una base de granito de Coromandel, su construcción costó ₤67 944, una gran cantidad para la época.​ Desde 1982, ha tenido una clasificación de Categoría I en el New Zealand Historic Places Trust,​ y fue restaurado exhaustivamente entre 1986 y 1988.​ Actualmente contiene tiendas y cafeterías en la planta baja, porque la mayoría de operaciones de ferry se han trasladado al nuevo edificio. Edificio nuevo Los muelles de ferris y la sala de espera, más modernos, fueron construidos como una estructura abierta con un techo curvo de vela/gaviota, que junto con las "chimeneas" decorativas, está diseñada para evocar barcos amarrados detrás del edificio original. También tenía que ser de baja altura para no obstruir vistas de edificios, y fue diseñada por el arquitecto Murray Day con el objetivo de ser de fácil mantenimiento y expandible.​ Reparaciones En 2009 y 2010, ARTA hizo reparaciones en la estructura del muelle, que no ha sido reparada desde su construcción. Se encontraron partes de la estructura en peor estado del esperado, porque el agua salada se había infiltrado lentamente en el hormigón armado.​ Véase también Auckland Referencias Enlaces externos Wikimedia Commons alberga una categoría multimedia sobre Terminal de Ferry de Auckland.
