Summary:

"Sir Miles Warren, a founding partner of Warren & Mahoney, is one of New Zealand's foremost architects. In this inspiring memoir he recounts an illustrious career in residential and commercial architecture, revealing the processes behind design, construction, client relationships and contractor negotiations." "From Christ's College and the Christchurch Town Hall to Parliament House in Wellington and the New Zealand High Commission in India, Miles Warren's designs are found throughout New Zealand and abroad. Over the years he has kept a record in watercolour of his many projects. In this book these superbly crafted perspectives are brought together for the first time." "Filled with delightfully told anecdotes, this is the story not only of a celebrated architect, but of a New Zealander whose career took him to many parts of the world. This autobiography, written with wit and passion, will appeal to a general readership as well as to art, architecture and design enthusiasts."--Jacket.
