Isthmus Group is an integrated landscape architecture, urban design and architecture studio that has been influencing the ways we experience the land and cityscapes of Aotearoa New Zealand for nearly 30 years. This is a compilation of 25 works that show how healthy ecologies and vibrant communities can be crafted in a way that represents the new New Zealand. From community-engendering suburbs and higher density, mixed-use Kiwi urbanism through to coastal landscapes that reconnect city and sea, this collection illustrates the development of design ideas in response to the contemporary issues facing New Zealand's cities and towns.
