Focus on heritage
HERITAGE advocate Jeremy Salmond will deliver the Ted McCoy architecture public lecture at the Otago Polytechnic tonight.
He is the founding director of Salmond Reed Architects, the largest specialist heritage design office in
New Zealand.
Mr Salmond, grandson of Dunedin architect Louis Salmond, was brought up in Gore and studied first in Dunedin and then Auckland.
In 2007, he was awarded the Queen’s Service Order for his contribution to the preservation of New Zealand’s heritage buildings.
He was awarded the New Zealand Institute of Architects gold medal in 2018.
His book, Old New Zealand
Houses 18001940, gave New Zealanders an opportunity to appreciate the built history of their country.
The lecture, titled ‘‘Silver threads among the gold — filling the regeneration gap’’, will be at Otago Polytechnic’s O Block in Anzac Ave.
