Since it's grand opening in 1961, Wellington's Futuna Chapel - devised by architect John Scott and artist Jim Allen - has held a singular place in New Zealand's cultural history. Futuna: Life of a Building tells the remarkable story of the chapel's inception and construction, and it's status beyond as well as within the architectural world.
