Henry Russell Walden (1934-2013)
- Architectural Centre Inc
- Russell died last week. His funeral is tomorrow (Tues 30th, 3pm Old St Pauls). He was born in Timaru, studied architecture at the University of Auckland, and was awarded the first MArch in New Zealand in 1964 with his thesis: “New Zealand Anglican church architecture, 1814-1963″ – all nine volumes of it. Another first he achieved was gaining a New Zealand Post-Graduate Scholarship in Architecture. The next year he headed to Birmingham to PhD study and private practice, returning in 1978 as a Reader in Architectural History at VUW, having completed his PhD (1975) and edited the MIT Press publication: The Open Hand: Essays on Le Corbusier (1977), an early collection of essays on Le Corbusier in English. http://www.futunatrust.org.nz/wp-content/header-images/windows.jpg Russell is renowned for his passionate relationship to Futuna Chapel – the subject of his Voices of Silence (1987) – as bicultural architecture.

Futuna - to the Future
- Architectural Centre Inc
- Friends of Futuna Chapel Charitable Trust 50th Anniversary celebrations 18, 19 and 20 March 2011. Designed by architect John Scott for the Society of Mary in 1959, the Futuna Retreat Chapel in Karori was opened on 19 March 1961. Futuna Chapel may be New Zealand’s most important building of the 20th century, the first to express in architectural terms New Zealand’s contemporary national identity. The building was awarded a Gold Medal by the New Zealand Institute of Architects and, later, was the recipient of the Institute’s inaugural 25 Year Award.
