There were some particularly interesting goings-on a couple of weekends ago, and when I walked past early one the evening the masked artists were hard at work; later that evening they were still there, but being sternly spoken to by the boys in blue. art cubastreet places blogs Wed, 19 Dec 2007 00:00:00 GMT http://wellurban.blogspot.com/2007/12/fun-police.html WellUrban 2007-12-19T00:00:00Z -41.2937917 174.7754336 Cuba Street, Te Aro, Wellington, Wellington City, Wellington, 6011, New Zealand http://wellurban.blogspot.com/2007/07/art-at-your-feet.html While there's a lot going on around the Buckle St section of the bypass, Karo Drive itself is going to take a long time to integrate into the texture of the city (sad, empty buildings don't help). Some citizens have taken things into their own hands and decided to give that most anonymous and downtrodden of icons, the pedestrian walkway pictogram, a bit of individuality. art bypass transport blogs Mon, 30 Jul 2007 00:00:00 GMT http://wellurban.blogspot.com/2007/07/art-at-your-feet.html WellUrban 2007-07-30T00:00:00Z http://wellurban.blogspot.com/2007/06/tag-team.html We've already had a few discussions here on WellUrban about graffiti, and while I've tended to be sceptical of anti-graffiti "flying squads" while singing the praises of street art in Waitangi Park and Ghuznee Street's "Graffiti Alley", a lot of other people see all graffiti as mindless vandalism. architecture art blogs Tue, 19 Jun 2007 00:00:00 GMT http://wellurban.blogspot.com/2007/06/tag-team.html WellUrban 2007-06-19T00:00:00Z http://wellurban.blogspot.com/2007/03/watch-birdie.html This morning, the ravaged environment of Ghuznee St finally got a positive addition to the streetscape: the world's largest tui landed on a roof to feed on some equally giant kowhai blossoms. It's part of the eye-catching new signage for the Forest and Bird headquarters. art blogs Fri, 30 Mar 2007 00:00:00 GMT http://wellurban.blogspot.com/2007/03/watch-birdie.html WellUrban 2007-03-30T00:00:00Z http://wellurban.blogspot.com/2007/02/neues-bauen.html Starting this Wednesday, the School of Architecture will be hosting a travelling exhibition of seminal modern architecture.
