PAPERSPAST

Ko te N.Z. Building Progress te hautaka hoahoanga whare tuatahi o Niu Tireni. He mea pānui i Te Whanga-nui-a-Tara mai i te tau 1905 ki te tau 1924, he mea whakaahua nui hoki ki te whakaahua, ki te hoahoa me te mahere, koia tonu tētahi rauemi tino waiwai hei ako i te hoahoanga me te hanganga whare i Niu Tireni i ngā tau tīmata o te rautau rua tekau.

I whakaputaina tuatahitia e ngā rōia whakamana ārai o Te Whanga-nui-a-Tara, e Baldwin & Rayward mā, i raro i te ingoa Progress. I oati te tānga tuatahi o 1905 ki te "whāki i te nekenga whakamua o te pūkahatanga, te tukanga, te tenenga, ngā mahi ahumahi, me te ohaoha e hāngai ana ki tētahi o ēnei take".

I te tau 1910 ka taumanutia te NZ Building Progress e Harry Tombs (1874-1966). Ko Tombs (te tama o te kaiwhakaū o Whitcombe & Tombs, a George Tombs), tētahi kaiwhakatā rongonui, he kaitautoko o ngā mahi toi, he kaiwhakaputa hoki i ngā hautaka toi. Ko Progress te tuatahi o āna hautaka; ko te mea tino rongonui pea ko Art in New Zealand (1928-44).

I raro i a Tombs ko te hoahoanga me te hanganga whare te arotahi o Progress, otirā i tohua hoki tēnei mā te whakawhitinga o te ingoa ki NZ Building Progress i te tau 1914. I roto i te tānga whakamutunga (o Paenga-whāwhā 1924), i tūtohutia e ngā kaiwhakaputa ko tēnei whakawhāititanga tētahi take i te whakatārewatia e rātou te hautaka. I whakaatu noa ka tīmata anō te pānuitanga ina "pai haere anō ngā āhuatanga". Heoi, kīhai te Progress i tīmata anō. Engari, i te tau 1926, ka whakaputaina e Tombs tētahi atu hautaka hoahoanga whare, New Zealand Architectural and Building Review. I whakaputaina tonutia tēnei tae noa ki te tīmatanga a Tombs i te Art in New Zealand e rua tau i muri mai.
