Synopsis
MAURICE AND I is a New Zealand documentary that celebrates 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 the architects’ remarkable legacy, the community impact of their bold architectural vision, and the enduring importance of architecture in shaping and enriching our lives.
