Rendered Futures at Objectspace
by Murray Crane
I visited Rendered Futures at Objectspace this week — a considered and quietly powerful exhibition that brings together drawings from over fifty Aotearoa architects, spanning generations and disciplines.
What’s striking is the variety of expression: from precise technical plans to loose, exploratory sketches. These works go beyond representation — they are tools for thinking, framing, questioning. They show architecture not just as an outcome, but as a process. A reminder that at its core, architecture is a creative pursuit.
In an era increasingly shaped by digital tools and standardised outputs, Rendered Futures offers a compelling case for the enduring relevance of drawing by hand — as a space for individuality, experimentation, and critical thought. For anyone working in the creative industries, or simply interested in how ideas are formed, it’s well worth a visit.
Objectspace, until 10 August.
