The 5th Auckland Triennial

Ina Klinkhardt

Ina is a 25 year old exchange student from Germany. Ina chose New Zealand for exchange as she is very interested in the relationship between a building and its surroundings. Ina chose Māori studio because of her interest in the Māori relationship to nature and natural building materials and for the opportunity to learn more about Māori culture. Ina works in a cinema in Germany and is interested in films, music and projection techniques, especially the lense and light breaking options/boundaries. Ina hopes to complete a postgraduate degree in architectural lighting design in the future.

Juliane Behnert

Juliane is a 20-year-old exchange student from Germany. Juliane chose Auckland city because of Unitec’s great reputation and the chance to experience New Zealand culture and social opportunities. Juliane was interested in being a part of the Te Hononga Māori studio out of a curiosity and interest in Māori customs and culture, and the fantastic opportunity to work on a real built project. She hopes to gain a new perspective on design and construction and to increase her knowledge of contract administration. Two of Juliane’s favourite interests are photography and sailing, which makes living in the City of Sails an amazing adventure.
