      <title>Henry Russell Walden (1934-2013)</title>
      <link>http://architecture.org.nz/2013/07/29/henry-russell-walden-1934-2013/</link>
      <description>Russell died last week.  His funeral is tomorrow (Tues 30th, 3pm Old St Pauls).&#xD;
&#xD;
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.&#xD;

Russell is renowned for his passionate relationship to Futuna Chapel – the subject of his Voices of Silence (1987) – as bicultural architecture.</description>
