Haworth Tompkins’ Post

On site at The Court Theatre! HT Director Roger Watts was recently on site at the Court Theatre in New Zealand for the first time since 2016 when the site was still empty and bare. Haworth Tompkins has been involved in the project since 2013 after Roger fortuitously met members of The Court at the Bristol Old Vic Theatre. During the recent visit Roger met Matthew Webby of Athfield Architects Ltd, the local lead architect on the project, in person for the first time after working together for five years via online communication. Very few projects of the complexity and magnitude of The Court Theatre rebuild are designed without in-person collaboration. However, the use of technology following the Covid-19 pandemic has been of benefit to this project, with project members able to collaborate closely via video meetings held globally. Roger will return to site for the theatre’s grand opening in May 2025. https://lnkd.in/eWY83Fd8 Christchurch City Council, Athfield Architects Ltd, Charcoalblue, Hawkins, KOBE CONSTRUCTION 📸 Christchurch City Council #HaworthTompkins #CourtTheatreNZ #Architecture #TheatreDesign #TimberConstruction #Sustainability #AthfieldArchitects
