“Rewi: Āta haere, kia tere is a tribute to the late architect Rewi Thompson (Ngāti Porou, Ngāti Raukawa), a visionary thinker who believed that great architecture is crafted through careful consideration of people and place. This book brings together a breathtaking range of his projects, from conceptual dreamscapes to one-of-a-kind homes. Rewi is one of our foremost contemporary Māori architects. This book puts his work and thinking into the spotlight. We were tasked with reflecting this sentiment and the man himself.”
