Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The decline of home ownership has struck at the heart of the Kiwi dream – so perhaps it is time to fashion a new one. House prices may boom or bust but the long-term trend is clear: for more New Zealanders than ever, home ownership is out of reach. Incomes simply have not kept pace with skyrocketing property prices. Generation Rent calls into question priorities at the heart of New Zealand’s identity. In this BWB Text, Shamubeel and Selena Eaqub investigate how we ended up here, and what can be done to ensure all New Zealanders – home owners and renters alike – live in affordable and secure housing.

Book excerpt: New Zealand's distinctive state houses from the 1930s and '40s are an enduring symbol of this country's egalitarian values. Modest houses, they were built from quality materials and with an emphasis on family and community. More than seventy-five years since the first state houses appeared, they are enjoying a renaissance as new generations of homeowners find ways to adapt their sturdy form for a more contemporary way of living. Beyond the State pays tribute to the New Zealand state house - and explores what it still offers us today.

Download or read book Modern written by Jeremy Hansen and published by Godwit. This book was released on 2013 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A handsome architecture and interiors book celebrating iconic modern New Zealand houses built from the late 1930s to the mid 1970s. The 24 projects, by architects including Ernst Plischke, Ivan Juriss, Henry Kulka, Jack Manning, Miles Warren, John Scott, Vlad Cacala, Cedric Firth and many more, are the sorts of houses that are increasingly sought-after and admired. As editor Jeremy Hansen writes in his introduction, 'I love these homes for their challenge to Victorian convention, for their optimistic embrace of new ideas, for the warmth of their material palettes, for their rigorous simplicity and dignified modesty. I love the way almost all of them are as liveable today as when they were first completed.' All the homes have their roots in the modernist movement, but the book hasn't attempted to present only the purest expositions of modernist form; it maps how modernism was forced to adapt to local conditions. It also reveals how modernism's revolutionary fervour was felt not only in New Zealand architecture but also in every creative field, resulting in fascinating cultural cross-pollination. The houses are from right across New Zealand - from Auckland, Thames, Hawke's Bay, Whanganui, Wellington, Christchurch, Hokitika, Alexandra and Dunedin - and together they show how the optimistic visions of the mid-century pioneers who created them are as relevant now as when these bold, inspiring homes were created. The text is by leading architecture writers such as Julia Gatley and Douglas Lloyd Jenkins, and the book features brief biographies of all the architects - making it a helpful resource - and photographs by this country's leading architecture photographers including Paul McCredie, Simon Devitt and Patrick Reynolds.

Download or read book We Call it Home written by Ben Schrader and published by Raupo. This book was released on 2005 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We Call It Home begins in the 19th century, when the private sector failed to provide affordable housing for the poor. This led the Liberal government to build the first state houses in 1905: workers' dwellings. It moves on to examine the state house styles -- the archetypal state house of the first Labour Government is well known, but this wasn't the only kind of state house. Schrader asks why the government seemed so keen on housing nuclear families at the expense of other family groups, and through his interviews finds out who did the chores, what they ate, and what they did together, and charts the changing structure of state house families. Finally, Schrader looks at the changing public perceptions of state housing. In the 1930s securing a state house was viewed as a 'step up', but by the 1970s it had come to be seen as a 'step down'. Why the change? It is the author's hope that We Call It Home " ... will give readers a greater understanding of the ways in which state housing has affected the lives of generations of Kiwis, and of the important role it has played in shaping New Zealand society."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this timely book, New Zealand's best-known commentator on population trends, Distinguished Professor Paul Spoonley, shows how, as New Zealand moves into the 2020s, the demographic dividends of the last 70 years are turning into deficits. Our population patterns have been disrupted. More boomers, fewer children, an ever bigger Auckland, and declining regions are the new normal. We will need new economic models, new ways of living. Spoonley says: "It is not a crisis (even if at times it feels like it), but rather something that needs to be understood and responded to. But I fear that policy-makers and politicians are not up to the challenge. That would be a crisis."
