Time will tell. It looks like the total duration of the competition - it is in 2 stages - is about 8 weeks. That's for those who make it into stage 2....
I think this space needs to become a social space for Auckland and Aucklanders.
Think of it as: myspace.auckland.com
Sure it's a big place, and can be used for other purposes from time to time, like docking cruise-ships, but its downtown location and proximity to public transport links screams out that this needs to become a public space. A social place.....
The organisers/key agencies for this competition have set up a website.
