Architecture / October 2009

November 2009 | September 2009
    • Moore Wilson
      • It seems like an absolute age since it was started, and who knows really if it has actually been finished, and who knows why they didn’t take the opportunity to go up another 10 floors with some rinky-dinky inner-city flats while they were there but I’m glad they didn’t, and all that aside: the Moore Wilson’s shop / empire that we all love to shop at seems to have reached a state of equilibrium at long last.

    • Pecha Kucha was tonight
      • If you wanted to see the latest Pecha Kucha night in Wellington, then : apologies, because you’ve just missed it. I presume that you know what I’m on about? Pecha Kucha, known for its egaliterian treatment of all and sundry, with 20 seconds for each of 20 slides, treats every one and every image the same. The line-up tonight was great -

    • South Coast Surfs Up
      • Although not an overly frequent frequenter to the suburbs, there is a certain feeling about being by the beach that we quite like: if we weren’t an urban blog, we’d be a seaside blog. Lyall Bay, home of Wellington’s best surf break, and a special spot for windsurfing and kite boarding, is a virtual paradise right on the edge of the capital city. At the edge of the Cook Straight, at times civilised, at other times wild beyond redemption, Lyall Bay is a fantastic place to be in the ‘burbs. In short, the Fish liked to dine at the Maranui Cafe.

    • Tee Total
      • Something on the crazy entries for the Outer Tee: we noted, a year ago, that there would be strong pressure for whatever went on the Outer Tee to be Iconic. And iconic certainly some of the suggestions are. Other ways to describe other suggestions may be “completely mad“.

    • Tattoo You Too
      • And so, with a big hello to all the ReMax twitterers out there receiving our feed, we bring you the latest incarnation of the site where the Tattoo Museum was in Abel Smith St - yes, it is now proposed to be the Tattoo Apartment site. Interestingly, it is to be just 4 stories tall - way below the 9 stories that the tacky Orange apartments have achieved just across the street (next to the Southern Cross).

    • More Queens Wharf
      • Coincidentally, at long last the Wellington Waterfront Ltd have also posted the entries on line for the Outer Tee of our own Queens Wharf - thank you for taking our subtle hint - and may we say how pleased we are to see the full line-up presented, as Auckland have, on the web for all to see.

    • BLUE SKY the Outer- T Competition
      • One hundred and seventy-six entries have been received for the BLUE Sky the Outer-T competition which closed at the end of August. The competition called for creative ideas for the best use for the Outer-T of Queens Wharf and was open to everyone. We are very pleased with the number of entries we received, and the fact that they came from such a wide-cross section of the Wellington community.
