James Timberlake in Christchurch

Good news - thanks to the support of Altherm Window Systems, the Canterbury branch of the New Zealand Institute of Architects and the Christchurch Polytechnic Institute of Technology (CPIT) we've been able to organise a talk in Christchurch by James Timberlake.

James will talk about many of his projects and particularly about his experience in developing low-cost housing in New Orleans in the wake of Hurricane Katrina.  

Our apologies for the relatively short notice, but I'm sure you'll understand that the situation in Christchurch means these events are not as straightforward to organise as in other centres. 

This talk will be FREE as a gesture of support to Christchurch as the city enters its next phase of recovery. If you're interested in coming along, here are the details:

Thursday 5 May 2011, 6.30pm
DL Lecture Theatre, CPIT
Madras Street (entrance off the D Block Quad)

We look forward to seeing our Christchurch readers there.

James Timberlake in Viva

HOME's former editor Claire McCall has a nice interview with James Timberlake in the New Zealand Herald's Viva supplement. You can read it here. Also! There are still some tickets available in Auckland and Wellington next Monday and Tuesday, which you can purchase at the link here. Thanks again to Altherm Window Systems for helping bring James here.
