Architecture in Maori culture is seen as a construction of beliefs, where buildings must emulate and amplify the personalities, hopes, and aspirations of those who inhabit them. This philosophy is the driving force behind the house projects of New Zealand architect Andrew Patterson, who has been designing houses and civic projects in the country for nearly thirty-five years. Patterson's work has been recognized with numerous awards, including the New Zealand Institute of Architects 2017 Gold Medal.
This book showcases seventeen of Patterson's recent houses, located in some of the most breathtaking locations in New Zealand. From stunning seascape retreats to hillside cabins, each house reveals how Patterson's architecture responds to the region's breathtaking landscapes to tell the story of the country's cultural history and create a sense of place and belonging.
The book is fully illustrated with large-format photographs that capture the essence of Patterson's designs. It is interspersed with thematic sections that present Patterson's key influences and the culture and lifestyles of New Zealand more broadly, particularly Maori language, history, and mythology.
Through his work, Patterson has demonstrated a deep understanding of the relationship between architecture and culture, and his designs have become iconic symbols of New Zealand's identity. This book is a testament to his talent and dedication to the craft of architecture, and it will inspire anyone who appreciates the power of design to shape the world around us.
