Kaleidoscope - Auckland Houses
Television (Full Length) – 1986
It's just a simple box with a pitched roof. We've been building variations on that theme for 150 years. But that is just building, and this is something more. This is architecture.– Mark Wigley compares a standard Kiwi house with an award-winning house designed by David Mitchell
...What this house shows is a kind of seriousness, a kind of commitment to architecture which involves a lot of people, and a lot of argument. And you end up with good results.– Mark Wigley on the Gibbs House, designed by David Mitchell
