Henry (Jindřich, Heinrich) Kulka[1] (29 March 1900 – 9 May 1971) was a Czech-New Zealand architect. He was a key figure in the development of Raumplan architecture in central Europe between 1919 and 1938. Kulka brought this approach to spatial planning and the Loosian traditions of natural material craftsmanship to modern building in New Zealand (1940–1971) where he was a pioneer of modern architecture.[2]
