Dear Humanitarians, We hope you all had an amazing holiday period and are rearing to go on 2013! Afh-AKL has recently been approached by one of our contacts with the offer of a donation of a massive number of huge glulam beams. Essentially these beams have come out of another building and are looking for a new home to be put to good use. Donated materials such as these have so much potential to be implemented because they are pretty flexible in terms of their uses.

Hey guys   On the 27th October we shall be contributing to Space Invader’s Auckland Parking Space Project. This is essentially an urban revitalisation initiative similar to Gapfiller projects in Christchurch. The idea is to work with Auckland parking spaces coinciding with Auckland Art Week.

The team at AfH Auckland recently went on a trip to the famous Gibbs Farm as a team-building social event. There was plenty of inspiration at this sculpture farm in the Kaipara Harbour, only an hour out from Auckland. Of course, as well as enjoying the epitome of the NZ hillscape and coastline, there was a lot of discussion about architecture, humanitarian/community issues and our upcoming projects. We were also joined by some members from the Unitec school of architecture. All in all, a great day out of our studios. Look forward to more of these team events!
