This week we are doing the laser cutting workship. The idea is on "gifting", and our gift will be the gift of public transport, utilizing the newly installed trams in the Wynyward Quarter in downtown Auckland. My group and I have decided on a historical architecture route that would give the gift the knowledge to aspiring international architecture students drawn to New Zealand due to the frenzy of the Rugby World Cup. The tram route includes 12 separate stops, all at well-known architectural sites that would serve to give a general of knowledge of New Zealand architecture. Below is a rough draft drawn to show the route between the 12 stops.
The 12 stops we have chosen are:
1. St. Andrew's First Presbyterian Church
2. The Old Railway Station
3. The Old Railway hotel
4. St Paul's Church
5. School of Architecture and Planning
6. Town Hall
7. The Civic Theatre
8. Ferry Building
9. The Clock Tower
10. Smith & Cougheys
11. Auckland High Court
12. Skytower
Also, this useful definition of a tram stop (from Wikipedia): A tram stop is a place designated for a tram to stop so passengers can board or alight it. Tram stops share most characteristics of bus stops, but because trams operate on rails, they often include railway platforms, especially if stepless entries are provided for accessibility. Trams are however also able to use at mere bus stop-type flags and using pavements as platforms.
