Awaroa Master Class
Published
A celebration of place and culture, and a celebration both of legends in architecture from New Zealand and Australia, as well as the work of some younger practitioners doing interesting work. Architects older and younger are invited to be part of what will be a memorable gathering.
The weekend will combine walking the landscape, observing, sketching, a modest design problem and formal talks by the guest speakers – and lots of conversation meandering between Awaroa Lodge, Ath’s settlement at the other end of the grass landing strip, exploring beautiful Awaroa inlet and the existing settlements of extraordinary ‘baches’ that already exist.
The modest design problem will be undertaken on A3 paper, freehand?
Access will be by water taxi from Marahau, with charter coach connection from Nelson Airport departing 13.00 Thursday 18 September and returning to Nelson Airport by 15.00 Monday 22 September.
Accommodation and meals will be provided at Peppers Awaroa Lodge. Twin-share standard or superior rooms are available or four-share lodges – https://www.peppers.co.nz/awaroa/
