Across disciplines for a better Hamilton

The built environment of Hamilton city is rapidly changing and the Mezz Pod has become a symbol for that change. Daniel and Alexander will be sharing how the award winning Mezz Pod was designed and built through collaboration.

Running all day and all night

By day, Dawn is a mild-mannered video producer with Nimbus Media. On the side, she likes to run far. Sometimes over mountains and sometimes round in circles - she recently represented New Zealand in the latter. What prompts this masochistic predilection? Dawn will explore that question a little, in relation to creativity, stoicism, and cartoons.
