pre:fab is a platform for collective reimagining, resource and knowledge sharing, and experimentation in Architecture in Aotearoa, New Zealand.
pre:fab was first contractually assembled in August 2022 by the organising members of a pirate architecture conference, a series of free lectures and workshops organised collaboratively in response to a perceived lack of access to disciplinary discourse. The pre:fab organisation was then officially launched in December 2022 as an interdisciplinary network of alternative practices and practitioners working within the field of ‘future environments’.
Sitting at the intersection of event producer, publisher, (non-profit) practice, practice/practitioner network, facilitator/educator, creator/curator and political lobby; pre:fab hopes to develop as a spatial agency advocacy group, with a particular focus on younger members of our industry, alternative practices, community engagement, public discourse, disciplinary development, and original content.
