New Zealand architecture: From polynesian beginnings to 1990

Peter Shaw and Robin Morrison explore the way New Zealand's architecture reflects the spirit and aspirations of its inhabitants. The full diversity of architectural styles is examined: from early Maori functional simplicity, the elaborate Gothic and Victorian domestic of the 19th century, the neo-classical and Edwardian baroque and the Arts and Crafts and neo-Georgian of the early 20th century, to the post-modernism of the 1980s. Also surveyed are the leading exponents of these styles and their philosophies. The photographer also illustrated "The Wines and Vineyards of New Zealand" and "Ferns of New Zealand".
