Polynesian architecture in New Zealand.
TL;DRAbstract
Polynesian architecture has tended to be neglected or dismissed as a field of serious study by architects in New Zealand. This is also true of the indigenous art forms in general, which have been the source of substantial scholarship by ethnologists; scholarship of which art specialists, are often unaware. The result is that apart from monographs with an ethnological viewpoint, the treatment of indigenous architecture has been superficial at best.
