Throughout the years, the team at Athfield Architects has reshaped New Zealand architecture, from Wellington's Civic Square to Jade Stadium. Reflecting on half a century of work, this landmark book combines newly commissioned photography, original architectural drawings, and a rich text informed by extensive archival research and interviews with key figures in the firm. Journeying from the slums of Manila to the streets of postquake Christchurch, this record reveals how New Zealand's leading contemporary architects are transforming the way everyone might live.
