About Love Infirmary Hoahoanga Roto o te Whare Hauora
Ko Love Infirmary he whare hauora kua whakahoutia i roto i tētahi kura tuatahi i Taipei, Taiwan. Ko te wāhi taketake he iti rawa te ara haere, he pōuri te roto, ā, kāore he wāhi rokiroki e rite ana mō ngā taputapu rongoā. Ko te hoahoanga roto hou e whai ana i tētahi huarahi koiora-aroha (biophilic), me te nui ake o te whakamārama māori, ngā ānuanua me ngā rauemi māori, me ngā mata pihoro māeneene. Ko ngā āhua porowhita e tautuhi ana i ia mahi, tae atu ki te tari o te nēhi, ngā moenga, ngā ruma whāngai ū, me te kaunga. Ko te nuinga o ngā mata he oro-ā-waipiro te whakaoti hei whakangāwari i te horoi. Ko te whakatakotoranga e hoatu ana ki ngā ākonga he ara mārama ki te maimoatanga.
