The pavilion, designed using digital fabrication techniques, will be used as a space to sell cupcakes to raise money for the Starship Foundation. The OH.NO.SUMO pavilion will be sited at the Britomart Precinct from 12pm until midnight, Friday 16 October.

Auckland Architecture Week ’09 offers a variety of events including exhibitions, presentations, films and building visits around sites in the city, from 11-18 October.
