After working as a graduate for Architectus, Giles Reid left for overseas and was employed by Renzo Piano Building Workshop on the design and construction of the Shard, first in Paris, then London, where he now lives. Following this, he started his own architecture practice (gilesreidarchitects.com), focusing on arts-related and domestic projects. He produces an ongoing series of books on forgotten New Zealand buildings. His monograph on emigré architect Henry Kulka was published in 2022.
