He taupānga hou! 📱Peddlethorp has released a brand new app called Room to Rūma, bringing te reo Māori into the realm of architecture and design. 🧑‍🎨 Developed in collaboration with Te Taura Whiri i te Reo Māori, the application takes simple English words like ‘bathroom’, or ‘conservatory’ within architectural plans and translates them into te reo Māori. The launch marks a significant milestone for the normalisation of te reo Māori within architecture, design and building sectors. Room to Rūma

As Māori living abroad it’s easy for us to feel disconnected from our culture. Maybe you haven’t been back home in a long time or prehaps you haven’t visited Aotearoa yet. And more often than not we are one of the very few Māori living in our suburb, town or city. For many of us, we don’t have the option of an “in-person” Māori community. This is exactly why our founder @amiriabutler started @learnmaoriabroad - to give Māori a home, a community, a whānau, while living abroad. Learn Māori Abroad
