I've walked past it on my afternoon strolls many times and
every time I do so, I can’t help but ask myself the same question, “Why is this
apartment named Brooklyn?” .
According to its web site, Brooklyn Apartments is a unique
and highly sought after art-deco style heritage building and its proximity to
the CBD and places like the AUT, Law School and motorway and Emily Park. But my interest to sketch it at one time or another
is nothing like that of someone looking for an apartment to rent in Auckland
that had the qualities stated above. I simply wanted to capture the building
that intrigued me by the mare fact of its name. And so, I sketched it. And
while I was at it, I took the opportunity to sketch people who had come out to
sit on the bean bags strewn on the lawn at Emily park. In the course of doing
this, I also came across another
building I’d like to sketch but that would
best be left until I have sketched it for now, here is Emily Place and
the Brooklyn Apartment entrance.
