IAN ATHFIELD is one of New Zealand’s best, and best-known, architects. And since 1968, with his partners and team, he has built a most distinctive architectural practice. The work of Athfield Architects encompasses a wide range of famous, infamous and little-known projects, from the Buck House against its vineyard rows to the expanse of Wellington’s Civic Square and waterfront, from libraries and university buildings throughout the country to the collaboratively designed New Zealand War Memorial in London. The phrase ‘an Athfield house’ conjures up especially vivid images: of plastered masses, white painted, stepping up or down precarious Wellington slopes – including Athfield’s own unfinished home and office that sprawls over an entire Khandallah hillside. Athfield, an iconoclast from the beginning, shaped a firm that became known initially for these ingenious houses. But from the late 1970s Athfield Architects partnered with developers, leading the way through a postmodern corporate boomtime of commercial towers, candy-bright colours and canny reuse of redundant buildings. More recently, while continuing private and commercial work, Athfield Architects have been reshaping public spaces in our cities – notably Wellington – and leading dialogue about the opportunities for a rebuilt Christchurch. In this landmark book covering half a century of work, Julia Gatley takes readers through modernism, postmodernism and beyond. Athfield Architects shows how New Zealand’s leading contemporary architectural firm is transforming the way we all might live. DR JULIA GATLEY is a graduate of Victoria University of Wellington and the University of Melbourne and is a senior lecturer in the School of Architecture and Planning at the University of Auckland. She has edited two bestselling and critically acclaimed books for Auckland University Press, Long Live the Modern: New Zealand’s New Architecture, 1904–1984 (2008), which encouraged the heritage recognition of New Zealand’s modern architecture, and Group Architects: Towards a New Zealand Architecture (2010), the first full assessment of this groundbreaking firm.
