As the streets and traffic lanes are changed to make way for the new bus route along Manners Street, footpaths are blocked, familiar traffic islands have disappeared and pedestrians are forced to reconsider how they navigate the city.

The infrastructure of the city is not just about moving traffic from a to b it is also [...]]]></description>

Quite alot happens at the edges of our roads. Cars park there, cyclists ride there, buses stop there, broken glass accumulates, and children jump out into the traffic from there.  But it doesn&#8217;t have to be this way.  It&#8217;s more than possible that many of these functions might be able to be moved to another [...]]]></description>

He might not be well-known, but if he was it would be for the design of the Freyberg Pool (1963).

A mid-1960s Archigram film announced: &#8220;When it&#8217;s raining in Oxford Street the architecture is no more important that the rain.&#8221; The moment rain cascades down the window outside, the city seemingly dribbles.  Pictorial edges are less certain, and the desire to remain inside firms.

Jacek Krenz, in &#8220;Rain in Architecture and Urban Design&#8221;, observes that:

There&#8217;s something pretty wonderful about St Kevin&#8217;s Arcade on K&#8217; Rd in Auckland.  I think the coffee even tastes better because of the intricacy of the architectural space.  Mixed with a decent dose of nostalgia (those pink-iced cakes of childhood shopping expeditions to town), it&#8217;s a place that seems to conjure pleasant memories in almost [...]]]></description>

Almost every time I catch a bus the thing that strikes me (other than the almost always lateness of Wellington buses), is how inadequate bus stops are  in their design for shelter.  It seems that I&#8217;m not the only one thinking this way &#8230;. With the invention of Adshel and its nasty advertising props parading, [...]]]></description>

Just as Manners Street is being ripped up (with the sort of silliness which means that the sunny side of the street will have the smallest width of footpath) it&#8217;s perhaps timely to have a think about the role the road has played in Wellington&#8217;s history.

Just after the turn of the century (when Perrett&#8217;s chemist [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[While up-cycling is the fad amongst crafty (industrial) designers, I have been wondering what up-cycling for architecture might be. Sure we have had adaptive reuse, from Scarpa&#8217;s Castelvecchio to Herzog &#38; de Meuron&#8217;s Tate Modern, but you know, they just not as &#8217;sustainable&#8217; sounding as &#8216;up-cycling&#8217;.
