Auckland University's School of Architecture and Planning have an amazing line-up this season, with plans to podcast every one of them!

Check out the full list of lectures below, starting at the end of this month, and running through until October.

I would make a serious effort to make it along to these, my personal picks are Momoyo Kaijima from Atelier Bow-Wow (Tokyo) on August 4th, the Mayoral Debate on the Urban Environment on August 11th should be a ripper, and Andrew Barrie's inaugural lecture for the University of Auckland should be great.


This, from NICAI's Events listing:

Fast Foward is an annual lecture series hosted by NICAI's School of Architecture and Planning. The lectures present the recent and current work of leading practitioners in the fields of architecture, planning and urban design, including those working at national and international levels. This coming series includes lectures by two internationally renowned architects, as well as sessions focussing on the Auckland Supercity. The School believes that presenting the work and concerns of leading practitioners is crucial in supporting the ongoing debate, discussion and development in the fields of architecture and planning.



Lectures are open to the public, and those other than Momoyo Kaijima are free entry. Attendance at each lecture earns 10 NZIA CPD points.



You can view information on individual lectures at the links below.
