Future-focused architecture stands at the centre of communities and at the forefront of technology, informing the way we work, the way we live, and how we interact with the cities we call home. Warren and Mahoney would love you to join us in our collective studios across Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch for one simultaneous event during TechWeek.

This event will be presented from three locations, with each location’s hosts speaking at various points throughout. Each studio will have live speakers who will also be simultaneously live streamed to the other two studios. The audiences in all locations will see a mixture of live presenting, and live steamed presenting.
