About the speaker: Pete Bossley, Bossley Architects (Auckland)
Pete Bossley is one of the defining figures in New Zealand’s recent architectural history. He is best known for the Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa, but his oeuvre also includes the Sir Peter Blake extension to the National Maritime Museum in Auckland among his major civic and museum projects. While producing some of the nation’s most admired and adventurous houses, he has also delivered apartment buildings and social housing projects. He has taught architectural design for over two decades, serving as adjunct professor of Architecture at Unitec Architecture and Landscape School. He has exhibited and lectured extensively on his work here and internationally. In 2012 Pete was recognised with the Te Kāhui Whaihanga New Zealand Institute of Architects Gold Medal in 2013, the highest individual award an architect can receive in New Zealand. Pete will discuss the importance of ideas to underline good architecture, identifying themes which have run through 40 years of architecture, using projects from his practice as examples.
