A fascinating account of how the beach has influenced New Zealand lifestyle, culture and identity.
Douglas Lloyd Jenkins is one of New Zealand's best known
commentators and writers on New Zealand's design history and has
been described by Wallpaper magazine as 'one of the most
influential design writers in the Southern Hemisphere'. He has
previously had columns in the New Zealand Herald and New Zealand
Listener and still contributes regularly to the New Zealand
Listener and HOME magazine.
His landmark book At Home- A Century of New Zealand Design was the
Montana Book Awards Non-Fiction Winner in 2004 and The Dress
Circle- New Zealand Fashion Design since 1940, which he co-authored
with Lucy Hammonds and Claire Regnault, was shortlisted for the
same prize in 2011. Other books he has written include 40 Legends
of New Zealand Design and New Dreamland.
In 2008 Douglas was made a Member of the New Zealand Order of Merit
for his contribution to architecture and design, and in 2009 the
New Zealand Institute of Architects awarded him the President's
Award for his contribution to architecture in this country.
Douglas lives in Auckland and is a full-time author, blogger and
curator of exhibitions on subjects ranging from architecture to
contemporary masculinity.
