‘John Scott Works’ is a major new book and exhibition project on the work of the architect John Scott. The project is a visual response to Scott’s work. Looking at more than twenty of his known and unknown buildings the project explores his concepts and ideas, and considers the references to te ao Māori and European influences.
It is in part a celebration of one of New Zealand’s most important architects and a timely and necessary acknowledgment, not only of his buildings, but also his place within a wider cultural context.
Exhibited at Objectspace Gallery, Auckland, Feb/March 2019; Hastings City Art Gallery Aug/Nov 2019.

John Scott Works
‘John Scott Works’ is a personal, visual response to the work of architect John Scott. With photography and essays the book weaves together the essence of his work through details and moments. It will explore his ideas around materiality, spatial dexterity and consider his references to Maori and European vernacular traditions. It is in part a celebration of one of New Zealand’s most important architects and a timely and necessary acknowledgment not only of his buildings but also his place within a wider cultural context.
