Timeline

1929

Sir Frederick Miles Warren (10 May 1929 – 9 August 2022) was a New Zealand architect.

He apprenticed under Cecil Wood before studying architecture at the University of Auckland, eventually working at the London County Council where he was exposed to British New Brutalism.

Upon returning to Christchurch, and forming the practice Warren and Mahoney, he was instrumental in developing the "Christchurch School" of architecture, an intersection between the truth-to-materials and structural expression that characterised Brutalism, and the low-key, Scandinavian and Japanese commitment to "straightforwardness".

Warren was born in Christchurch on 10 May 1929, the son of Jean and Maurice Warren.

He was educated at Christ's College.

He commenced his architectural training as an apprentice to Cecil Wood and studied architecture via correspondence at the Christchurch Atelier.

Warren later moved to Auckland to complete his studies at the University of Auckland.

1956

Warren's first major building was the Dorset Street Flats (designed in 1956) that were derided as prison-like due to their small scale and exposed concrete.

1958

This domestic vocabulary was quickly adapted to various building types – the Dental Nurses School (1958), the architect's own office and home (1962), Harewood Crematorium (1963), Christchurch College (now known as College House) (1964) and the Christchurch Town Hall (1972).

1959

Warren & Mahoney won the New Zealand Institute of Architects (NZIA) Gold Medal in 1959, 1964, 1969 and 1973.

1966

In 1966 they won the American Institute of Architects' Pan Pacific Citation, an award also given to among others the architects Kenzo Tange and Harry Seidler.

1974

In the 1974 New Year Honours, Warren was appointed a Commander of the Order of the British Empire, advanced to Knight Commander of the Order of the British Empire in the 1985 New Year Honours, and appointed to the Order of New Zealand in the 1995 Queen's Birthday Honours.

1977

In 1977, with Pauline and John Trengrove, Warren began work on the garden at Ohinetahi.

This garden includes a formal rose garden, a walled "red and green" garden and a woodland garden.

He retired from Warren and Mahoney in 1994 but continued to consult as an architect and maintain his historic home and garden at Ohinetahi.

2000

Warren was awarded the NZIA Gold Medal as an individual in 2000.

Warren and Peter Beaven are the only two Christchurch architects who have been awarded both the New Zealand Institute of Architects gold medal.

2011

In 2011 Warren was profiled on Artsville, a TVNZ arts documentary series.

Critics of his work and its impact on the Victorian architectural heritage of Christchurch include Duncan Fallowell, who has written: "his buildings can't manage the simplest attributes of good design or benevolence".

2012

Warren died in Christchurch on 9 August 2022 at the age of 93.
