This edited volume seeks to address these gaps, focusing on the period from 1840 to 1970 across the broader South Pacific region. Through in-depth architectural case studies of buildings, ensembles and urban projects, the essays reflect on the complex interactions between locals and foreigners, colonisers and the colonised, and their shifting allegiances, even across changing political powers. With a rare focus on German colonial influences in the region, the contributions go beyond the predominant narratives of British and French colonial influence. This volume is a valuable resource for students and researchers of architectural history and colonial history in Oceania.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEbook available in Open Access\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eContributing authors: Michael Falser (Technical University of Munich), Carolyn Hill (University of Waikato), Charmaine 'Ilaiū Talei (University of Auckland), Robin Skinner (Te Herenga Waka-Victoria University of Wellington), Hermann M?ckler (Vienna University), Jasper Ludewig (Technical University of Sydney), Clemens Finkelstein (Princeton University), Amanda Ahmadi (Melbourne University), Paul Walker (Melbourne University), Paul Steffen (Pontificia Universit?
