Architecture + Women . NZ

My training as a draftsperson at ATI introduced me to technical aspects of building, then when I studied at the Auckland University School of Architecture I discovered that there was more to architecture than materiality. In the 70's we were concerned with landscape and context and how buildings fitted in to that. My thing then was place, what that meant and how that gave architecture meaning. The art and craft of building hold my interest and I love the building process despite how tough working in the industry can be at times. The opportunity to work with creative people has contributed to the enjoyment of my work and I am continually fascinated by architecture's transformative qualities.
