TRANS-FoRM-ers

Mobile Architectures- Architecture Week 09 student competition
Shed 12, 90 Wellesley Street West, from 6pm
Friday October 16th

Movement and migration are pressing themes of contemporary life. Whether driven by political and economic necessity or resulting from a surplus of leisure time, people are more globally mobile than ever before. How might design, architecture and art respond to this relentless fluidity of people, capital, data, ideas and commodity goods?

In TRANS-FoRM-ers 400 students from Unitec, AUT and The University of Auckland School of Architecture and Planning are competing in teams to design and fabricate “mobile architectures”. At 5pm on Friday October 16th, as part of the Architecture Week events, these “mobile architectures” will form Auckland’s first ever architecture convoy, moving from Western Springs to Grey Lynn, K’Rd and Queen St. On their way they will create a public spectacle and rouse the curiosity of the traffic bound public. Arriving at Shed 12, 90 Wellesley Street West, the Architecture Week venue, these mobile architectures will undergo transformation, revealing an interior, to be exhibited and experienced as part of the Architecture Week Pecha Kucha evening. Under construction at this stage the projects range across experimental materials and super scales, from giant silver vibrating balloons to collapsable cardboard towers this will be a night to remember.

Watch out for the convoy and come along to this extravagant architectural event to vote for the winning project. There will be bars and food on site.
