Resene and Architecture New Zealand are proud to present a mini film festival as the closing act of Auckland Architecture Week 2015. Taking place at Auckland Art Gallery on Sunday 27 September, the two films featured are A Place to Call Home, which focuses on the fate of state housing in New Zealand in the face of gentrification and privatisation, and the highly acclaimed Ever the Land documentary, on the planning and construction of New Zealand’s first ‘living building’, Te Wharehou o Tūhoe.
All proceeds from the mini film festival will assist ĀKAU, an architectural social enterprise in Northland that is working with disadvantaged youth to help develop innovative solutions to the issues that their communities are facing. ĀKAU’s directors, architect Felicity Brenchley and architectural designers Ruby Watson and Ana Heremaia, run workshop programmes in the design of real projects and products, allowing their students to see tangible outcomes for their hard work.
