@DesignGuideNZ @CityAklccrg @NzBgc From my architectural design days, solar shading design is a lost art these days. Should be looked at seriously for any highly glazed facade.😍😍😍😍 #gamedesign #Fantasy #Digital3D #game #Architectural

One of the things mentioned in @SiouxsieW @TheSpinoffTV article is revisiting ventilation in our built environment. Seems to me the perfect opportunity to look at energy efficiency at the same time and building owners can use @NZGBC tools for this.

Frank Gehry’s Luma Arles will be the literal high point of a new “creative campus” called Luma Arles, a multidisciplinary art and culture complex sprawling over 27 acres. We need a Māori version of this for Auckland. theguardian.com/artanddesign…

Here's yet another (yawn) report into the woes of the Building Industry. @MBIEgovtnz @BRANZlive @NZIArchitects @MasterBuilderNZ and other industry bodies have much to answer for. Poor culture, lack of penalties for poor workmanship, lack of oversight and no consumer education.

Hard to overstate how great the Dulwich Pavilion is and what crazy things it does to your eyes. Part lenticular postcard, part zoetrope, all mad explosion of colour 🌈

We arrived from over the water. All of us, ourselves, our ancestors, carried over the sea on wings of hope. We came with prayers and with poetry, we came with songs. We came to build a life together...
Instead of usual Fri column @nzherald has my piece for the day of remembrance

Happy New Year from the #Guggenheim! In 1959 the museum opened its doors and became a striking addition to New York City’s architecture. Thank you for helping us make the last 60 years of radical art and architecture so unforgettable—here's to the next 60. #Guggenheim60
