I am from NZ. My family is in the building industry. This 1960s style, from before I was born, is still considered cutting edge, highly sophisticated, mature, and contemporary in New Zealand. If you tell them about Neo Victorian, or homestead, or Spanish Colonial Revival, these Remuera type people will think it 'Disney' and 'crass' and 'cheesey'. This is the thinking. They think decorative style is absolutely goofy. Having lived in the USA and seen how stimulating the revival architecture is, even though it is inauthentic, It is objectively much more intelligent and intellectually curious and artistic than this New Zealand architeture. The kiwis are very rigid in their thinking. And New Zealanders HATE over spending on decorative elements.

@@jesseward568 I too am a born and bred kiwi. still living here.... I much prefer 1940s to early 1960s architecture and interior design.... but not like these monstrosities.... These feel more like some dystopian soviet era brutalist designs. I much prefer the colorful, vibrant, fun and inviting buildings that existed in that time.... But, I do also have a little thing for that art-deco/nouveau era circa 1910 - early 1930s

@@ethaneade4937 I lived in a 1940s house. It was not art deco but it was nice and beautiful. Yes I find brutalism obnoxious. In England they just demolished a lot of them hahaha. But these new houses done in that 1960s style. So many rich baby boomer kiwis still think it is so new and I don't get it. It's decades old. And the chrome and black everywhere is yuck, My mother has been been reading the magazines and telling me how new and cutting edge it is since I was 3 years old! Although she never wanted to live in a house like that. She thought an old house had to actually be old. Otherwise it was wrong. I think it must be generational thinking. I don't know. The same generation who think that Auckland is rural instead of urban.

Can you tell me what you prefer in architectural design? I js wanna know sry

@@qalyne I love house designs from the 1950's and 60s. Split leveled homes, Sunken living rooms funky colours. as for public buildings, I hate the way they seem too be going with all of these boring greys and white with no life or style.

Just like Julie Stout in that other world

for people who can't hear

It's for people who are deaf or hard of hearing, and for an international audience. It's a very good thing to have captions actually.
