Michael Thomson

Michael Thomson is responsible for overseeing the production of documentation and technical research at Architectus Auckland. He has over 20 years experience in the development of sound technical resolutions to complex constructional challenges. His interests lie in the Tectonics and Craft of Architecture and a concern for the creation of 'well tempered environments' in the widest sense of Reyner Banham's phrase. Michael is on the Continuing Practice Development Board of the New Zealand Institute of Architects which encourages and structures on-going research and self-education by members and is an external examiner for the architectural course at UNITEC in Auckland.

Architectus is committed to the possibilities offered by new technologies and techniques of building as well as research into sustainable building approaches. This is in combination with a concern for and a commitment to the integration of structure and services in the design process. These themes were first developed at a large scale on the Mathematics Statistics and Computer Sciences Building in Christchurch for which Michael completed the documentation management and contract administration. Reinforcement for this approach has come with the ongoing success of the building in qualitative and quantitative surveys against international benchmarks.

Michael is also responsible for the overseeing the development and maintenance of our computer system which features the latest in 2D and 3D software.
