Architecture Week, Auckland 07
Auckland Architecture Week is back for a 2nd year and will be held at Britomart from Monday 15 to Friday 19 October 2007. The agenda includes a variety of exhibitions, talks and tours for both architects and 'the public' (some ticketed, others free). Have a look at the website for more details. Below are just some of the events which look particularly interesting to us:
