Māori Architecture charts, for the first time, the genesis and form of indigenous buildings in Aotearoa New Zealand. It explores the vast array of Māori-designed structures and spaces – how they evolved over time, and how they tell the story of an ever-changing people. The book looks at facets of early Polynesian settlement through to contemporary architecture.
