Auckland waterfront in Wynyard Quarter; at a great point in time as excellent grid of public domain established, people using it, new buildings coming while many working port uses still in place. Great activation by pop ups. Well judged design interventions by @tcl_studio @architectus.nz If only Barangaroo, White Bay, Dockland et al had pursued such an intelligent approach #auckland #aucklandwaterfront #aucklandarchitecture #aucklanddesign #wynyardquarter #publicspace #gantrystructure #popupplayground #traintracks #grittyurbanism #portredevelopment #workingharbour #temporaryactivation
