Megastructures: The Team Behind The Pacifica

Architecture+Women•NZ brings together the diverse practices of women trained in the field of architecture and seeks to raise their profile in the public realm. This is done through networks, events, publication and policy, and it is is free to join.

Architecture+Women•NZ

Women are not always associated with 'skyscrapers', but have been working on megastructures for decades - with probably the most well-known in the western world being Natalie Griffin de Blois, partner of Skidmore Owings and Merrill (1944-74).
In Auckland we have several tall structures under construction, one of them being The Pacifica at 10 Commerce St. The architects are Plus Architecture, an integrated architecture and interior design practice founded in 1997 with offices in Auckland, Brisbane, Christchurch, Melbourne, Perth, Sydney and the Gold Coast.
We thought you would like to meet some of the female leadership team behind The Pacifica. The project team 'gender imbalance' occurred by coincidence, not by design, but it helps to put aside persistent stereotypes about who builds cities.
Lorna Hamilton will give an inside look into the project: bringing you up to date with construction progress, her role as Project Architect with 2IC, Joanna Truong, and discuss how she initially picked up the project from a colleague and Architect, Uma Weerakkody.
Thank you to the NZIA Auckland Branch for their support for this event.
