Art Deco New Zealand offers a national perspective on New Zealand's mid-twentieth century Art Deco heritage and explores its impact on the appearance of many of the country's towns and cities. Art Deco buildings of famous locations like Napier and Hastings are considered, but this accessible book also brings to our attention the extent of Art Deco built heritage in small-town New Zealand. Author Terry Moyle undertook extensive research in consultation with historians, councils and museums to identify the best places in New Zealand to find intact examples of Art Deco built heritage. The book's generous use of detailed illustration also brings back to life buildings that have since been lost or extensively changed. These evocative illustrations created by Terry and his partner at Contour Creative Studio, Rosie Louise, sit alongside historic and contemporary photographs.
