| Summary |
"The 24 projects, by architects including Ernst Plischke, Ivan Juriss, Henry Kulka, Jack Manning, Miles Warren, John Scott, Vlad Cacala, Cedric Firth and many more, are the sorts of houses that are increasingly sought-after and admired. All the homes have their roots in the modernist movement, but the book hasn't attempted to present only the purest expositions of modernist form; it maps how modernism was forced to adapt to local conditions. It also reveals how modernism's revolutionary fervour was felt not only in New Zealand architecture but also in every creative field, resulting in fascinating cultural cross-pollination. The houses are from right across New Zealand - from Auckland, Thames, Hawke's Bay, Whanganui, Wellington, Christchurch, Hokitika, Alexandra and Dunedin - and together they show how the optimistic visions of the mid-century pioneers who created them are as relevant now as when these bold, inspiring homes were created."--PUBLISHER'S DESCRIPTION |
