A+W•NZ Spektrum Arkitekter Breakfast
2015 has been a full year for A+W•NZ and already 2016 is promising to continue with a variety of interesting events. First up is the A+W•NZ Spektrum Arkitekter Breakfast, held in early February.
Sofie Willems and Joan Raun Nielsen, the two partners in Spektrum Arkitekter of Denmark, are coming to New Zealand in early 2016. The visit is thanks to a ‘Share Your Practice’ grant from the Danish Art Foundation, and we are elated to offer this opportunity for you to meet Joan and Sofie, and to learn more about their projects, approach and working methods.
Spektrum Arkitekter is a young architectural studio whose work integrates architecture, landscape architecture, urban planning and citizen involvement. The common denominator in all the company’s projects is the relationship between architecture and context - landscape, people, history, culture, social relations etc.
Spektrum Arkitekter have an extensive portfolio of work, and incredibly valuable knowledge and experience that they will be sharing whilst in New Zealand. This informal breakfast and presentation provides an opportunity to learn more about Sofie, Joan and Spektrum Arkitekter.
Mark this one in your diary as February will be here in no time – but not before a well-deserved summer break!!
When: Wednesday 10th February 2016, at 7am
Where: To be confirmed.
Cost: $25 tickets available via eventbrite
This event is made possible by the generous support of Moller Architects, the Danish Art Foundation and the Auckland Branch of the NZIA.
