A History of New Zealand Architecture

his updated and re-jacketed edition reviews the latest developments in New Zealand's rich architectural history and explores the way a country's architecture reflects the spirit and aspirations of its inhabitants. The book surveys New Zealand's major building traditions, trends, innovations and controversies. The full diversity of architectural styles is examined from: Maori functional simplicity; the elaborate Antipodean Gothic and Victorian domestic styles of the 19th century; the impressive neo-classical and Edwardian Baroque styles; the fashionable arts and crafts and neo-Georgian of the early 20th century; the post-modernism of the 1980s and beyond, to the present day. The leading exponents of these styles and their philosophies are also surveyed.
