He has been involved in such projects as the Auckland and Dunedin motorways, the Wairakei-Taupo
highway, and the Benmore and Manapouri-Te Anau hydro-electric developments. Mr Malcolm is retiring as inspecting landscape architect for New Zealand. ' Mr Challenger -has been lecturing at Lincoln College since 1956 and head of the landscape architecture section since its formation. He was the founder of the postgraduate course in landscape architecture at Lincoln College in 1969 and is also well known for his talks to outside groups, articles on the landscape, and his interest in history.
