I am researching the history of New Zealand design and architecture.

Douglas, L. (2004). At Home: a century of New Zealand design. Auckland, New Zealand: Goodwit.

This book explores the way in which design and architecture in New Zealand was influenced by and adapted to international design movements in the 20th century. This book is useful as it covers a wide time period in New Zealand showing how design and architecture was developed here.

This article evaluates how Maori and colonial influences evolved an emphasis of sustainability in New Zealand design. This source is valuable as it is a credited source, giving facts and cultural perspectives on the history of New Zealand design, while offering international comparative design issues that helped shape design and architecture in New Zealand.

This website works as an encyclopedia to inform New Zealanders on all aspects of our history. It is useful to me as it gives information on chosen topics, specific to New Zealand. This means that I am getting an in-depth look into the history of New Zealand design and architecture.

This is an image of the Wellington building, Te Whare Waka O Poneke, which was opened on February 6th, 2011. The building was built to house two waka tuau and waka ama, showing the significance of Maori culture in our society. This image is valuable to me as it showcases how contemporary design has merged with our countries heritage throughout history, creating a unique New Zealand flavour in design and architecture.
