This is an illustrated volume of the architectural history of New Zealand, from the extravagant to the modest, the venerable to the modern. Familiar landmarks such as the Waitangi Treaty House and Christchurch Cathedral sit alongside less well-known buildings such as the Greek church in a Wairarapa paddock or the Tapeka marae on the shores of Lake Taupo. Clusters of buildings, such as Napier's art deco cityscape, Kerikeri's historic basin or Oamaru's whitestone commercial centre are treated as whole precincts. From the Bay of Islands to Foveaux Strait, the architectural features of New Zealand's urban and provincial landscapes are featured. Throughout the country, buildings of church and state, commerce and industry, education and entertainment, along with houses, both grand and modest, are shown in all their variety. Maori architecture, too, is presented in this survey of New Zealand's architectural heritage. David McGill is the author of "Ghost Towns of New Zealand", "The Pioneers of Port Nicholson", "My Brilliant Suburb" and "McGill's Dictionary of Kiwi Slang".Grant Sheehan is the photographer of "Lighthouses of New Zealand" (text by Fiona Kidman), "Wellington: Harbour Capital" (text by Fran Wilde) and "Character Cafes of New Zealand" (text by David Burton).
