This talk by Julia Gatley, an Associate Professor of Architecuture in the School of Architecture and Planning, draws from a research project that documents and analyses New Zealand’s history of apartment building. It identifies exemplars from across the decades and teases out key changes over time, in apartment design, in ownership structures, and in the target demographics.
