Andrew James Campbell Patterson (born 12 June 1960) is an Auckland, New Zealand-based architect.
Early life and education
[edit]Born in the Waikato region, Patterson claims to be from a family of four generations of professionals, lawyers and doctors.[1]
Patterson completed a Bachelor of Architecture degree at The University of Auckland in 1984 and started his own practice in 1986.[2]
Career
[edit]Patterson Associates designed the Len Lye Centre, which is part of the Govett-Brewster Art Gallery in New Plymouth. The centre opened in 2015 to show the works of influential kinetic sculpture Len Lye.[3]
The Geyser building, in Auckland, is the recipient of New Zealand's only 6 Green Star rating from the New Zealand Green Building Council.[4][5]
Patterson Associates's MaiMai House was one of 16 finalists in the "private homes" category of the 2nd annual World Architecture Festival in 2009.[6]
Patterson is Fellow of the New Zealand Institute of Architects (FNZIA).[7] In 2017 Patterson was awarded the FNZIA's Gold Medal.[8] He is the director of Patterson Associates.[2]
Patterson has advocated for greater use of indigenous New Zealand stories and symbols in the design of public buildings.[9]
Personal life
[edit]On the morning of the 27th of May 2015, Patterson was leaving his home on his Porsche SUV and suspected he hit a road cone, which happened to be cyclist Peter Redmond. Redmond suffered multiple rib fractures and abrasions, a dislocated knee, and a lacerated liver.[10] He remained hospitalised for weeks, underwent multiple surgeries and was likely to remain partially disabled or undergo further surgeries, the court heard.[11][12]
Charged with careless driving causing injury, Patterson initially pleaded not guilty before changing his plea to guilty after a court adjournment.[13] Judge Evangelos Thomas ordered Patterson to pay NZD$3000 in emotional harm reparations, in addition to "significant" payments he'd already made, and barred him from driving for six months.[12]
