The New Zealand architect Roger Walker (b.1942) is one of the few architects who has created a new style which has affected the establishment and evolution of a New Zealand architectural identity. Walker was born when modern movement architecture started to appear in New Zealand, he studied architecture when modern architecture reached maturity and the theories of post-modern architecture were being formulated, and he began to practice as post-modernism began its initial development. During his growing practice Roger Walker has significantly developed his personal architectural style and has contributed to an emerging concept of regional architecture and strengthened the notion of New Zealand architectural identity.
