00:01They say the auditorium is acoustically perfect, one of the best in the world.

00:06It was the best building we designed.

00:08Good evening.

00:09You are not making a decision on just another building.

00:14This is a building of international significance.

00:19My mother turned to me and said, does that young man say anything?

00:24I always said too much and you always said too little.

00:27Architects Miles Warren and Morris Marnie were a true partnership.

00:32He was articulate and confident, which I wasn't.

00:36Morris chose to stay in the background.

00:38Miles ended up being the kind of front man.

00:41I intended to look after a lot of the services, toilets, the drains.

00:46He's being more modest.

00:48Well, it had to be done.

00:50They created a significant period in New Zealand architecture.

00:55He brought back the English freestyle architectural ideas where you actually made a sculpture.

01:00These buildings brought something new to people's lives.

01:03I'm a great believer in the old adage, people get the buildings they deserve.

01:06In the mid-1960s, the whole question of how to design a concert hall was effectively up in the air.

01:13They really didn't have an acoustical clue about what they were doing.

01:20There might be a moment in the process where you think, my God, it's going to work.

01:25This is a case where New Zealand led the world in concert hall design.

01:30Oh, my God.

01:34Your life's work disappears.

01:40We were going to get things done and get them done quickly.

01:45We better it is even quicker.

01:47There is something terribly wrong in our city when people say it's okay to knock down repairable buildings because they're in the wrong place.

01:55The point is I had an opinion. I don't back off that opinion.

01:59It certainly can be shaved.

02:01It must be.

02:02The sense of presence is a gift.

02:10It's of the same family as grace and love.

02:15None of those can be engineered.

02:22You can be lucky in this life or unlucky if we were just damn lucky.

02:32Then, don't lie.

02:34I'm going to throw this out here.

02:37This is your person who only the person nur was ceiling surface.

02:39The nível of the space falling.

02:43You know.

02:51You just have to walk.

02:55I come back, singing, singing, singing.

02:56I've both walked all.

02:58I can feel like I have no idea.
