A+W•NZ Arch Week 2016 events

Local Women Speak

Local Women Speak is a opportunity to hear a diverse group of people involved in architecture in Auckland speak up! The topics of discussion will be multiple and varied, with a round-table format. With the recent Unitary Plan release and the ever changing cultural, infrastructural and economic landscape around us, this will be a wonderful opportunity to hear and support informed discussion about the future of our local built environment.
Confirmed panellists are:
- Anner Chong – Principal Architect at Chow Hill
- Elizabeth Seuseu – Project Architect at Architectus
- Ann O’Meager – Associate at Beca
- Annette Jones – Principal Architect at Beca
- Esther McCredy – Architectural Research at The Beach (Netherlands), currently at University of Auckland, Architecture School
Rā Waiata

Location: Orakei Marae, 59B Kitemoana Street, Auckland
Cost: General $50, groups of 5+ $40 ea., Student $25. Tickets on Eventbrite shortly.
A+W•NZ are honoured to be hosted by Ngati Whatua at Orakei Marae in the spirit of manaakitanga (hospitality) to gain a greater understanding of tikanga (protocol) in relation to powhiri (welcoming), and share the joy of learning and singing waiata (songs). Bring the whole office to watch the sun come up over the Waitematā whilst enjoying kai (breakfast), and a morning of ako (learning) and korero (talking) at one of Tāmaki Makaurau’s most spectacular and historically rich sites.
The Common: Shared Space in Housing (in collaboration with NZIA)
Date: Thursday 22 September
Time: 6.30–8pm
Location: Toi Tu: Studio One, Room 10, 1 Ponsonby Road, Auckland
Cost: Free
The Common: Shared Space in Housing is a panel discussion that follows from the hugely successful Artspace A+W•NZ Panel event in August 2015. Negotiating the conversation of communal housing is always undoubtedly complex, especially in times of intensification, affordability and housing supply shortage. This panel, made up of Maori and Pasifika academics, practitioners, artists and politicians, is asked whether ‘communal space’ should be included in our housing typologies, and how financial structures have a bearing on urban form.
A+W•NZ Timeline Installation (in collaboration with NZIA)
Date: 19–25 September
Time: Opening hours
Location: Silos, Wynyard Quarter
Cost: Free
Women have been consistently present in New Zealand’s architectural history, however largely absent from our documented stories. The A+W•NZ Timeline was first exhibited in the Silo 6 Gallery in our ‘Between Silos’ Exhibition in 2013, and here we re-exhibit as part of AAW 2016. The A+W•NZ Timeline was created by Marianne Calvelo, with assistance by Joy Roxas (designer) and Lynda Simmons (curator).
