The first of two evenings of drawing parties taking place within Rendered Futures: Drawing architecture – with a rolling cast of tutors leading quick-fire drawing workshops in between drinks and snacks.

Your tutors for this evening are Craig Moller (Moller Architects) and Graeme Burgess (Burgess, Treep & Knight Architects Ltd). Each will introduce a different approach to drawing, responding to Rendered Futures, and will lead participants through 45 mins of hands-on activity. 

Join us for live sketching, surrounded by the exhibition, and enjoy some legendary Objectspace hospitality.

Tickets are $15 and all materials are provided.

Craig Moller (Ngāti Haua) of Moller Architects has been practising for over three decades. Moller completed his undergraduate studies at the University of Auckland, prior to graduating with a Masters of Architecture from Yale University. Moller has worked extensively as an educator, having taught at Waipapa Taumata Rau University of Auckland since 2007 and previously at Te Kura Waihanga School of Architecture at Te Herenga Waka Victoria University of Wellington. He has sat on accreditation review panels evaluating schools of architecture and as a juror for the Te Kāhui Whaihanga New Zealand Institute of Architects Awards, Interior Awards and Architecture + Women Awards.

Graeme Burgess attended the School of Architecture at the University of Auckland in the 1970s. He lived in Sydney for a couple of years, then settled back in Aotearoa New Zealand and has stayed here ever since. In the 1980s, with Lucy Treep, he advocated for better development of the city, and for the protection of heritage places – helping shift attitudes and win some 'small victories', including the Courtville apartments on Parliament Street and The First Church of Christ, Scientist building on Symonds Street. With Lucy he established Burgess + Treep Architects in 1989, which became Burgess Treep + Knight in 2017 when Lilli Knight joined the practice. Design, together with a respect for and understanding of history, are the underpinning fundamental of the practice.
