Wellington Architecture : A Walking Guide

In this informative pocket guide, writer John Walsh teams up with photographer Patrick Reynolds to offer a tour of a century and a half of Wellington's architecture. It tells the stories of more than 120 significant central-city buildings, and also of the architects who designed them. The buildings are grouped into five self-guided walking routes, each with a map; together these itineraries create a character portrait of New Zealand's most urbane city. It's the perfect guide for visitors to Wellington and also for locals who want to know more about their city. Praise for the previous books in the series: '... the ideal slim volume for Aucklanders and visitors to become acquainted with the architectural gems of Auckland City' - The National Business Review 'It's easy to become caught up in negativity when you think about the politics of the Christchurch rebuild period, but the feeling I get from Walsh and Reynolds' book is one of optimism.' - Philip Matthews, Newsroom Book of the Week
