Patterson explained that this is not just a simplistic reference to Aotearoa but has deeper resonances such as in the Maori creation myth of Ranginui and Papatuanuku, which sees the world of people and nature formed in the space between sky father and earth mother" - Source: Anvil building by Patterson Associates - Architecture Now.
