About the speaker: Sarosh Mulla, PAC Studio

After graduating at the top of his class from the School of Architecture & Planning of Auckland in 2008, Sarosh Mulla completed a PhD in Architecture by Practice at The University of Auckland, where he is now a Senior Lecturer. Alongside his academic endeavours, he is a director at PAC Studio, a practice building a reputation across a wide spectrum of architecture-related fields: residential projects, commercial buildings, heritage conservation, as well as innovative exhibition, installation and research work. These projects have been the recipients of NZIA National Awards, Here magazine’s Best House Award, and a Best Awards Purple Pin. Sarosh will talk through PAC Studio’s recurrent design motifs as illustrated by recent projects, focusing on the way fun and levity pervade the way they practice. He will cover what characterises their work, the way the studio operates, and how that differs from other practices.
