Yesterday the WCC agreed in principle to the proposed Fale Malae being proposed for the waterfront, or at least for them to go forward to the next phase of planning. This is the same Fale that was proposed for a site up near Parliament (on Bunny St, between the Victoria School of Law in the old Government Buildings, and the VUW Business School in Rutherford House). Evidently someone has ruled that the parliamentary site was unsuitable, and so Frank Kitts Park has been proposed instead. waterfront frank-kitts-park fale places architecture blogs Thu, 23 Sep 2021 00:00:00 GMT https://eyeofthefish.org/fale-malae/ Eye of the Fish 2021-09-23T00:00:00Z -41.287041349999996 174.77875599386792 Frank Kitts Park, Lambton, Wellington Central, Wellington, Wellington City, Wellington, New Zealand https://eyeofthefish.org/reflecting-lockdown/ Lockdown’s first couple of days with cold rain and drizzle were a bit miserable, but then on Saturday we had possibly the most perfect weather I’ve ever seen in Wellington. covid-19 photography waterfront health business places architecture blogs Sat, 21 Aug 2021 00:00:00 GMT https://eyeofthefish.org/reflecting-lockdown/ Eye of the Fish 2021-08-21T00:00:00Z http://eyeofthefish.org/new-bnz/ Released just in time for Christmas, a new building for Wellington has hit the news – a Newcrest development that will take star position on the Waterfront. waterfront places architecture blogs Wed, 11 Dec 2019 20:11:33 GMT http://eyeofthefish.org/new-bnz/ Eye of the Fish 2019-12-11T20:11:33Z http://ionapannett.blogspot.com/2014/10/blog-post_84.html Great news that NZ owned TSB Bank has signed for another 10 year sponsorship deal for the Arena on the waterfront but I do think this is the worst building in the city - monolithic, no architectural merit, still do not know how it got oonsent.

We’re going to devote some room to an an-depth discussion of the building in our next Arch Centre newsletter, due out soon, where we will have a full architectural review, but in the mean time it is kind of hard to ignore - and so this post just touches on the context of its surrounding landscape.
