Review: "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 - Clayton, Burrows, Campbell, Mair, Patterson and Wilson - held this position in New Zealand, and they produced much of the architectural infrastructure of the emerging nation state. For the first time, 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 the 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."--BOOK JACKET.
