Description: Shows a man walking past the [Vector] stadium at at what was once the Auckland waterfront and finds a shiny CPD (Continuing Professional Development) point. He takes it home, plants it in the garden and overnight it grows into a magical CPD stalk right up into bureaucratic heaven. He climbs the stalk and immediately begins filling in forms and paying for seminars. He is hit by a bolt of lightning (representing the various activities architects have to complete in order to retain their Registered Architect status). He complains that he is now broke, that he hasn't had time to do any work and he wants to go home. A large booming voice from above tells him that he is in CPD land now and there is no going home. Refers to the Continuing Professional Development (CPD) which is required by architects to retain their Registered Architect status. Likens it to the fairy tale of Jack and the Beanstalk Quantity: 1 digital cartoon(s).
