Peter Beaven Memorial Lecture 2026

How can medium-density housing be improved in our city?

Te Kāhui Whaihanga New Zealand Institute of Architects Canterbury/Westland Branch is pleased to welcome Wellington-based architect, academic and author Guy Marriage to explore this important question.

Through his acclaimed publications Tall, Modern Apartment Design, and Medium, Guy has examined residential development across a range of scales, from high-rise urban living to medium-density neighbourhoods. Drawing on his research, design experience, and advocacy for better housing outcomes, Guy is uniquely positioned to offer thoughtful insights into one of the most significant and often contentious issues facing our cities today.

This event is free to attend, but registration is required.

Doors open at 5:30pm for a 6:00pm start. Refreshments will be served.
