    1. Where Auckland is. Where Auckland 'aint.

    From wherever you are. From the flat whites , to the white flats (or rather up and in and under them). This 'aint Auckland, this 'aint architecture, this is a podcast from Karangahape Road.  This episode introduces us to wall-less and breathing type of architecture: Place.  “I’m recording from Tāmaki Makaurau, the land desired by many. But it feels more appropriate in this instance to call it Auckland….” Auckland has a main body of waterfront, with stagnant rooftop bars.  This land also has other kinds of water inlets, where fluid currents can portal us to many more desirable places of Tāmaki Makaurau.  Where your Auckland is? Where your Auckland aint? A big thank you to our sponsor for today’s episode, THE POTTERS PARK KID. An Auckland influencer and up-and-coming DJ, Potter is best known for the iconic plastic statue made in his image, erected in Potters Park nearly twenty-three years ago. Potter, now a thirty-three-years-young entrepreneur, party boy, and bachelor; has decided to “go the self-made route.” Potter is carrying on the legacy of his Dad’s construction company by building an empire that raves. Music has always been “the main vibes”, and POTTER (a.k.a DJ Chosen 1) is debuting tonight at the Waterfront, in a self-financed dance party that Potter has called “The Forever Future.” Buy your ticket today! A more serious thank you to the essential samples used in the making of this podcast, as credited below: Arohanui to : tēnā rawa atu koe to Tāmaki Makaurau, Grey Lynn, Pacific and poetic musician Schofield Strangelove for allowing their track Hopeless Romantic to be included in this episode. In extension, thank you to Noa Records, the collective that Strangelove collaborates with.

    2. Rented Buildings and Proper Architecture.

    This episode involves rented buildings like Caluzzi and The Thirsty Dog. This episode also includes proper architecture, like Krd’s Lighthouse Apartments by Leuschke Group Architects. Proper architecture is not the same as a common building, it’s more elite than that.  A big thank you to our sponsor for todays episode, TINA.  An esteemed influencer, Tina will help you with the cosmetic renovations of your leaking assets.  You got this girlfriend! Let’s reinvent!  Arohanui to : Faʻafetai to Tāmaki Makaurau and Pasifika musician LEAO for allowing their track PAU MALIU to be included in this episode. In extension, thank you to Noa Records, the collective LEAO collaborates with. Kia ora. "We cage with toothpicks getting their pools fixed, but we don’t care about them fools coz them fools rich.” Shiraz & LSJ Akl town.

    3. Ads, Ads, Ads...Undies.

    This third episode talks about the advertising on our walls.  “I am here because they can afford me, can you afford me?” The Karangahape view can feel like that time you saw adult diapers at the op-shop. A gross reminder of mortality, of what we will all be reduced to. An old face, leaking, reflecting on how we have spent our lives and who we have spent our lives in service to.  A big thank you to our sponsor for todays episode, TINA.  An esteemed influencer, Tina will help you with the cosmetic renovations of your leaking assets.  You got this girlfriend!

    5. A Victorian Big Mac, with Cheese.

    “Custom made cabinets were finished with hand carvings and mouldings imported from England.” Victorian-styled Buildings made Europeans feel at home, and safe – like the whole of Krd was one giant living room. Colonial buildings are kind of like Big Macs, outputs of a franchise. Franchise is the promise of access, the promise that from anywhere; the same cold drink. But you don’t just get that cold drink from anywhere – you get it from here. Franchise is also the promise of calling this one ‘yours’.

    “If we can buy anything we need online, or anywhere that’s near our place of address, what are the forms of exchange that keep Karangahape Road relevant?" This is the last episode of the season.
