Awaroa 14 New Zealand

exquisite apart

A weekend of  good people and good architecture – all together

Awaroa Lodge, Abel Tasman National Park, South Island, New Zealand

Thursday 18 - Monday 22 September 2014 

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.

Ian Athfield, Kerry and Lindsay Clare, Drew Heath, Richard Leplastrier, Peter Stutchbury, Lindsay Johnston

and special guests Patrick Clifford, Lindley Naismith, Nick Bevin, Julia Gatley  ( ….. and more?)

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.

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.
