wharf worries

The NZ Herald reports on discontent about the winning designs in the Queens Wharf competition. There are various grumblings from academics, Maori representatives, and quite a few readers. And Dave Mitchell has a go at the competition itself: “This is an $80 million building project. The total sum to be paid to all contestants for the key design ideas stage is 1/1000th of the project cost. That shows you the value that our national and local governments together place on design.”

And Geoff of Grey Lynn has a point… “I’m angry that we have to build a cruise terminal all over again because the Princes Wharf residents don’t like ships blocking their view.”
