A. Victor Smith: houses & flats

Abstract

This report looks at the life and work of a Wellington architect, Victor Smith, in the context of broad architectural influences and trends of the period in which he worked, the 1920's through to the 1960's. I have visited and photographed examples of his work and have evaluated these against literature on the architecture of the time. The scope of the report is limited to his houses and flats. It is 'pitched' to the layman and would be of particular interest to any of his friends or members of his family with an interest in his work.
