A former Whanganui architecture will give a talk on another Whanganui architect as part of the Whanganui Regional Museum's lecture series.
Mark Southcombe will give a talk on the work of the late Don Wilson.
Mr Southcombe is a senior lecturer at Victoria University's school of architecture. He worked for many years as a partner in the Whanganui architectural firm of Southcombe McClean & Co Ltd (which later merged with Belchambers Architects to form BSM).
He was responsible for the design of the Whanganui information centre on Taupo Quay, and the southern entranceway into Whanganui at the intersection of SH3 and SH4.
Don Wilson was a provincial New Zealand Modernist architect who was also a Fulbright scholar. In 1958 he travelled to Chicago to study experimental building techniques at the Illinois Institute of Technology under the guidance of Mies van der Rohe.
