Daryl Cockburn, Architectural Centre committee member and Wellington architect is the guest speaker for our next event. The Architectural Centre's Manifesto for Architecture speaks directly to the topic: 'Architecture must facilitate better living' and 'Urban environments must be planned (but not only by planners)'. The Centre's Manfesto for Housing states 'High density neighbourhoods must provide good open space amenity'.

What sort of buildings and internal spaces do we want to live in as we increasingly move to medium and high density housing? How do we ensure the developments support the goals of a people-centred city and a dynamic central city? What do you want to see?

The process of reviewing the current District Plan is about to begin. This is a good time to start thinking about what you would like to see in the future District Plan to achieve those goals.

Come along and hear Daryl speak on the fundamental desing requirements to achieve people-centred inner city environments.
