HISTORIC LANDSCAPES [Re]presenting Auckland's Future

The exhibition presents a series of long-developing projects linked to urban heritage and techniques for designing and representing city space.
The exhibition will feature two recently rediscovered and conserved physical, scale models of Auckland’s CBD from the 1930’s and the 1970’s. Together, these make up approximately 30m2 of modeled terrain and are the only known ones of their kind in Auckland. Originally they were used by Auckland City Council to test city form and development proposals.
These models will be shown alongside examples of the new, digitally-based urban modeling techniques which have been applied to an existing heritage quarter in Auckland City. These techniques include layering and representational devices to indicate and measure the implications of urban development as well as identifying the presence of heritage and topographic variances on sensitive heritage sites.
The exhibition will also showcase Auckland City’s new web-based heritage data source. This is a new way for professionals and the public to access conservation and heritage information about sites in the city. It is based on the notion of thematic layering and landscape approaches rather than traditional object-based heritage strategies. It is an important advancement in heritage and conservation thinking and aims to lead design professionals and the public toward a broader understanding of the integrated role heritage and conservation plays in design practice.
In conjunction with the exhibition, there will be a series of structured evening events at which representatives from the heritage organisation ICOMOS, the Auckland Architectural Association and AUT’s Spatial Design will speak.
