This article overviews an indigenous culture's design approach: New Zealand Māori. I contrast and compare this cultural and spiritual approach with a typical Western World Design approach. It sheds light on the Māori (New Zealand's indigenous people) way of design and shows their interpretation of the world. Furthermore, I compare Māori Design Principles with General Design Principles. Then, I look at patterns - specifically the Flounder Fish (diamond shape) pattern - and some modern NZ buildings that reflect this specific pattern. I also touch on abstract design concepts and ideas for architecture - using Māori abstract art as inspiration. Lastly, I touch on using AI for design ideas (Playground AI). See the stunning design images created by Playground AI with the Māori Flounder Fish pattern (diamond shape) as the focus. The AI prompt included 'a modern contemporary house with many Māori shapes, forms and patterns.' This resource concludes and culminates with a spectacular design at the end! Don't miss it. For Designers, artists, architects, and Design and Visual Communication (DVC) students.

In this article, I provide a rich resource for artists, designers, teachers and design students. I include a short clothing and fashion design overview over the past 700 years of Māori in New Zealand. I start with traditional clothing and then progress to AI-inspired clothing—a modern and contemporary approach. See the AI images generated by Midjourney/Discord. Extravagant Māori shapes, forms, patterns and colours are included. The images will provide excellent prompts for designers. Specifically, the resource will provide a great background and new foreground for Māori-inspired designs. Considering the new NCEA Level 1 Technology Curriculum for New Zealand (launched in 2024), this resource will provide a brief overview with pointers to the future of fabric and fashion design.

This resource includes an overview of Māori food in New Zealand over the past 700 years. I have the influence of Britain, other cultures, and Christianity on Māori food and dishes. Also included are several AI-inspired dishes (Midjourney/Discord). Additional focus on aesthetics - crockery & garnishing (Māori-inspired dish-up plates). See the contemporary Māori-shaped, formed and patterned plates. Traditional Māori-colours feature on the ceramic (pottery) plates containing the food (red, black & grey). These images and concepts should provide prompts and inspiration for chefs, foodies, artists, sculptors, and potters. This resource could be very useful to students in New Zealand who will be doing the new curriculum (NCEA Technology Level 1) in 2024. Food Technology students could find this resource helpful, as it is short, sharp, and concise.
