I for one welcome our new mirrorball overlords
- The Wellingtonista
- Te Papa's forecourt may look as if it's under attack by giant glittery space balls, but it's actually the start of a two-year kinetic sculpture installation called "The Mimetic Brotherhood", by Peter Trevelyan. There's not much kinesis evident at the moment, but once the installation is complete, expect the plinth-eating monsters to start pulsating in their full hydraulic glory.

Wellington 2040 - our vision
- Architectural Centre Inc
- While no one knows for sure, in about 30 years, there are bound to be a few changes. We’ve put together a scenario of what the city might be like then - and included some nice big images for the Council, hoping that they will be as excited by the future possibilities as we are. There is discussion on the Waterfront (like this image of what we think / hope it might be like), as well as discussion on the upcoming Basin Reserve flyover ‘consultation’ and the image that was published by the Capital Times two weeks ago.

Why we can’t be smug about the leaky buildings on Auckland’s waterfront
- Wellington Scoop
- I felt unreasonably smug at the weekend when I learnt that the Hilton Hotel on Princes Wharf in Auckland has had to close some of its best rooms because there are leaks in the walls. Would this have also been the fate of a Hilton Hotel in Wellington, had it been allowed to build on the outer-Tee of Queens Wharf?

Wellington Get Its RWC Waterfront Sorted While We Argue

- While Auckland argues about a bunch of rushed Queens Wharf designs – three budget, one $97m – Wellington council has opted for a rugby village approach on its waterfront during the Rugby World Cup 2011.
