Description

A major tribute to the late architect Rewi Thompson (Ngti Porou, Ngti Raukawa) whose early death robbed Aotearoa New Zealand of one of its greatest thinkers about how our built landscape could best express te ao Mori and be transformative. Written and edited by one of the rising stars of architecture and a well-known commentator on urban issues, this handsome book brings together the wide range of Thompsons projects and interviews with those who worked with him. Beautifully designed by Tyrone Ohia.
