Is the ugliest building in Wellington?
- Iona Pannett
- 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. Needs a wrecking ball through it and a redesign.

The tide is turning and Green is becoming mainstream
- Iona Pannett
- Today, I felt optimistic as I sat in a room of property developers and other related professionals to talk about the future of the Northern end of the CBD including a small part of Thorndon, there was no talk of flyovers, denial of climate change and the inequality that exists througout the world.

New apartment living
- Iona Pannett
- The refurbished apartment building at the bottom of the Dixon Street stairs in Te Aro was once a run down boarding house, now it has been converted into some lovely apartments in a fantastic location. The owner has done a great job - a good alternative who want to live in an apartment but on a small scale.

Centennial Flats restored
- Iona Pannett
- Sometimes the Government does the right thing - good news to hear $4m is being put into the heritage listed Centennial flats by Housing New Zealand to earthquake strengthen and refurbish them. A good outcome for tenants and the city. Photo courtesy of stuff.co.nz

This is why Wellingtonians say they have the highest quality of life in the country
- Iona Pannett
- Just on the way to work and I snapped this picture on the waterfront. Lucky we are to live in a such a great environment. The 2014 Quality of Life survey results today show Wellingtonians say our city is a great place to live and do business but we of course knew that already.

Autocade hits 5,000,000 views: what are its most read and least searched?
- Jack Yan
- With Autocade exceeding the 5,000,000 page view milestone (it’s on 5·12 million), I thought it might be fun to look at a few of the models on the site: the most popular, the least loved, and the first on the site.

Where the action is on social media, and it’s not Facebook
- Jack Yan
- I’ve blogged several times about the bot problem that Facebook has, and this is an issue that runs alongside the click farms that operate on the website.

Should freedom camping be allowed in Wellington?
- Iona Pannett
