Ewen Martin Wainscott (1920-1987) joined the Auckland City Council in 1947, shortly after qualifying, and was Auckland Chief City Architect for 37 years from 1967 until 1985. Few Aucklanders have heard of him and yet his legacy is an enduring one: rigorous, elegant modernist buildings, often for the most prosaic of purposes. Wainscott drew his design from US tank factories, which he visited earlier in the 1960s.
