Summary:

"The works of Government and [colonial architects] are all around us. Think state houses, post offices, courthouses, government office buildings, blocks of flats, schools and police stations. In the span of a century, just six men ... held this position in New Zealand, and they produced much of the architectural infrastructure of thye emerging nation state. ... [This] book presents a visual survey of each architect's surviving work, both modest and glorious, on a journey from colonialism to modernism. It includes assistant architects from those early years - A.E. King, Claude Paton, George Penlington and Llewelyn Richards - and also looks at the work of some other architects in the Public Works Department during and after World War II - new migrants from Europe Ernst Plischke, Frederick Newman and Helmut Einhorn, as well as local architects Ian Reynolds and Jock Beere."--Back cover.
