objectspace.org.nzIn celebration of their current exhibition, KOHA: The speculative world of Rewi Thompson enjoy a coffee and a doughnut at Objectspace, before jumping on the bus to visit three locations across Tāmaki Makaurau, designed by architect Rewi Thompson.
The hīkoi will be led by Barrie and Jade Kake and will stop at three locations across Auckland. At each stop they will guide a tour of the building, each uniquely giving insight into Rewi’s practice. This will draw on several destinations mentioned in the map, ‘Rewi Thompson in Auckland’, created by designer and academic Andrew Barrie
This bus tour will start and end at Objectspace. A light snack and water will be provided during the tour.
Barrie’s map ‘Rewi Thompson in Auckland’ is part of an ongoing series that can be viewed here.

Notable projects include the terraced Wiri State Housing precinct (1986-1989), canopies at the Ōtara Town Centre (1987), City to Sea Bridge (1990-1994), Puukenga, the School of Māori Studies at Uniteac in Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland (1991), and his own home in Tāmaki Makaurau’s Kohimarama (1985). Rewi created, consulted on and contributed to many of Aotearoa’s significant architectures, advocating for the prioritisation and enactment of mātauranga Māori into the fields of architecture and design.
