The abundancec of Art Deco-style buildings in Napier is due to New Zealand’s worst natural disaster, a devastating earthquake that hit the region in 1931. What followed was an intense rebuilding programme and, as a result, one of the world’s greatest collections of Art Deco buildings was created, and one-of-a-kind with Maori motifs incorporated into the classic designs.
