Auckland Heritage Festival is underway (24 September to 9 October), so we thought it would be timely to promote the research done by our students that is held in the Architecture and Planning Library Measured Drawings and Theses collections. Their work provides insight into the heritage research done for our city. The measured drawings are available only in the library, while some of the theses are online. Some various examples you might want to look at…
