Modernism - The New Look of Architecture in Te Awamutu's Commercial Buildings 1930 - 1950
Following on from the Art Deco style of the 1920s, Te Awamutu experienced a boom in new and innovative building technologies in the 1930s-50s.
Glass, reinforced concrete and the concept that "form should follow function" are reflected in many of Te Awamutu's iconic buildings.
Te Awamutu Central Heritage Walk
Following on from the successful heritage walks in 2020, this early evening walk led by Alan Hall around the Te Awamutu central business area will tell the stories behind many of the town's more interesting buildings.
This is a stand-alone event but those wanting to attend would also benefit from Alan's talk on 17 February on "Modernism - The New Look of Architecture in Te Awamutu's Commercial Buildings".
