We’re having an awesome time this week educating Auckland kids about thinking more about their own classrooms and the environment. The responses have been phenomenal so far and we’ll have pictures up by the end of the week – so watch this space!

Auckland Architecture Week 2009
AFH-Auckland is hosting a travelling exhibition of shortlisted works from Open Architecture Network(OAN) Classroom Challenge at Union Fish Building as part of Auckland Architecture Week from Sunday 11th October until Sunday 18th October 2009.
Also during the week, as part of this OAN travelling exhibition, AFH-Auckland has invited children from schools in Auckland region to participate in an hour long design charrette, to teach the students about design and architecture in their learning environment.
This is our second year being involved in Auckland Architecture Week. For the first year’s work in 2007, please check out our projects page.
We are also fundraising to help supporting the people affected by the recent Tsunami in Samoa and Tonga. Keep your eye out for the green ribbons in boxes at Union Fish Building and also at a number of selected workplaces during Auckland Architecture Week.

Northcross Concept Design
AfH-Auckland Chapter members have spent the last couple of months (ok, ok, about three…) putting together a wicked concept design for Northcross Intermediate’s Technology Block. The principal Jonathon Tredray and one of the teachers, Kim Henry came to see our final board presentation at the school on Friday, and they were really stoked to see we have listened to the teachers and improved the classroom layout. A select number of students from Northcross will be attending our Creative Workshop during the upcoming Auckland Architecture Week. Kudos to all the members who have worked so hard on this: Fiona Short, Andy Ong, Sean Bian, Daniyal Farhani, Joanne Duan, Alex Liang, and Jennis Lee.
