ASC Architects

As architects, we really appreciated the opportunity to visit Rendered Futures – Drawing Architecture at Objectspace’s Ockham Gallery, with a tour generously led by director Kim Paton.

The exhibition brings together architectural drawings from the past five decades – from the final years of hand-drawing through to today's digital render culture. It was fascinating to see such a rich mix of technical drawings, sketches, and expressive works from across generations of Aotearoa architects.

Exploring how drawing continues to shape and challenge the discipline reminded us of the power of mark-making – not just as a tool, but as a way of thinking and seeing. Thanks to Objectspace for an inspiring afternoon.

We’re proud to celebrate our team members Yvette Loubser and John Broadchoi, who represented ASC Architects at Father’s Kōrero—a powerful and much-needed event hosted by A+W NZ and the School of Future Environments at AUT.

This event opened space for meaningful conversations around fatherhood in architecture, highlighting the often-invisible caregiving work that underpins balanced, inclusive, and sustainable careers.
Yvette and John’s presence and insights contributed to a rich kōrero about how shared caregiving, workplace flexibility, and visible support systems can help reshape our profession for the better. From graduates to practice leaders, it’s vital we continue to reflect on how we can foster healthier, more inclusive environments for all whānau.

Ngā mihi to A+W NZ for championing change and creating space for these important conversations.
