Welcome to the Tātuhi / Drawing Architecture: Sarah Treadwell Archive, sponsored by Metalcraft. This is In early 2017, Dr Sarah Treadwell retired from academic life at The University of Auckland, School of Architecture and Planning, New Zealand. Her legacy is so broad and her influence on several generations of architects, artists and thinkers so deep, Architecture+Women•NZ wish to make a special acknowledgement of her career in architecture. As well as recognising Sarah’s extraordinary work and critical thinking, we also celebrate her grace, wisdom and patience.

As Sarah moves into her life in art, it seems appropriate to acknowledge her major contribution to the ‘drawing culture’ which exists at Auckland’s School of Architecture and Planning. The level of sophistication with the use of drawing in design process as well as output is a direct result of Sarah’s critical approach to the use of media in architecture.
In recognition of this legacy, A+W•NZ have established this online archive, in her name.
The first drawing submitted to this archive is, of course, one of her own.
Thank you, Sarah. For everything.
