In the literature on New Zealand architectural history, three propositions are typically made about modern architecture there. Firstly, it arrived 'late'; secondly, it came from Europe; thirdly, a local version emerges around 1950 in the work of the Auckland Group. Each of these three propositions is reasonable, but not adequate, and to present a brief critical account of modern architecture in New Zealand it is usefol to review and complicate them.
