Maurice & I is a film that pays tribute to the transformative architectural partnership of Sir Miles Warren and Maurice Mahoney, whose innovative ‘brutalist’ designs redefined Christchurch in the 1960s and 70s, enhancing the community’s cultural and social fabric. Their work, including the iconic Christchurch Town Hall, was nearly erased by the 2011 earthquakes. Through rare archival footage and exclusive interviews, including their final conversation together, the film reflects on their remarkable legacy, the community impact of their bold architectural vision, and the enduring importance of architecture in shaping and enriching our lives.
This film is part of the Melbourne Design Week Film Festival curated by Spiro Economopoulos.
