The University of Otago wants to knock down the 50 year old Archway Lecture Theatres, but the council and supporters say the building is a prime example of Brutalist architecture.
Christine McCarthy is a senior lecturer in the School of Architecture at Te Herenga Waka, Victoria University of Wellington. She's a fan of Brutalism and believes the McCoy-designed buildings are among the best examples of the style in the country.
She joins Emile Donovan.
