Peter John Bartlett (7 January 1929 – 21 December 2019) was a New Zealand architect and professor of architectural design.
Born in Auckland on 7 January 1929, Bartlett was the son of Florence Mary Bartlett (née Cushman) and John Maddocks Bartlett.[1] He was educated at Auckland Grammar School, before studying architecture at Auckland University College and completing a Bachelor of Architecture degree in 1957.[1] He later undertook doctoral studies at Auckland, supervised by Richard Toy, and submitted his PhD thesis, titled Structured evaluation of attitudes to dwelling environments: people’s subjective assessments of preference satisfaction and meaning as indicators of architectural design performance in 1978.[2]
in 1953, Bartlett married Margaret Ann Lawlor, and the couple went on to have six children.[1]
Archtitectural career
Bartlett was awarded a New Zealand government cultural fund bursary to study in Paris in 1953 and 1954, and spent the postgraduate year of his architectural studies in France.[1] Between 1954 and 1957, he worked in Paris as a project architect on multi-storey housing projects, before returning to New Zealand and going into private practice.[1]
In 1958, he won first prize in the New Zealand Institute of Architects (NZIA) Winstone House Competition, and in 1968 he was awarded an NZIA bronze medal for the Newcombe house in Parnell; the building received an NZIA Auckland enduring architecture award in 2013.[1][3][4] Bartlett designed the Centennial Theatre Centre at his old school, Auckland Grammar, which won an NZIA Auckland region medal in 1974, and an NZIA gold medal in 1975.[1]
Bartlett was elected as a Fellow of the New Zealand Institute of Architects in 1976, and a Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts the following year.[1]
