I was out at Addington Raceway recently and couldn't help noticing the 'architectural punch' of the main entrance to the Westpac Stadium - made all the more dramatic by the gloomy, cloud-filled skies billowing up in the rear. Designed by the Christchurch architectural practice Warren & Mahoney, the stadium opened in 2000. It was the biggest pre-cast concrete construction job ever undertaken in the South Island and if you'd like to know more about the details, you can find lots of information on their website - www.westpacstadium.co.nz www.warrenandmahoney.com Observations of Life in New Zealand (and sometimes beyond) through art, architecture, photography, travel, tourism, design, food, the quirky, the bizarre, the comedic - a few of the things I am passionate about. This is my world - a world of contemplations, observations and small adventures.
