Sunday 15 November, 2:00pm to 3:30pm

John Walsh and Patrick Reynolds

Architecture writer John Walsh and photographer Patrick Reynolds discuss their city walking guides and the heritage places they reveal, bringing together Walsh’s deep knowledge of Aotearoa New Zealand architecture and Reynolds’ distinctive photographic eye.

About the speakers

John Walsh is a leading New Zealand architecture writer. He edited Architecture New Zealand magazine for a decade, and has written numerous books on New Zealand architecture, among them the newly revised Auckland Architecture: A Walking Guide, which features photographs by Patrick Reynolds.

Patrick Reynolds is probably best known for his exceptional architectural and interior photographs that appear in publications such as Urbis and Vogue Living. However, over the past 20 years he has developed a highly successful parallel career as a leading photographer within New Zealand contemporary visual arts. As an exhibiting artist his work is about New Zealand landscape, nature, architecture, patterns of seeing, and – just as importantly – about the art and place of photography.
