Drawing connections - Exploring the architecture of Cecil Wood
Te Pito Huarewa / Southbase Gallery 9 March to 19 May 2024
This exhibition uses the architectural drawings of Cecil Wood to explore the cultural and historical context of Ōtautahi's built environment.
Wood's apprentice, renowned architect Sir Miles Warren, gifted many of the drawings to University of Canterbury's Library Archives. Seldom displayed, these drawings reveal Wood’s artistic skill and architectural evolution.
This exhibition is a partnership between Christchurch City Libraries, University of Canterbury Libraries and the University of Canterbury Art History Department.
