Abstract Most countries would like to claim an architecture that physically substantiates their cultural uniqueness. Current discourse can often polarise this desire by separating indigenous architecture on the one hand, and national institutional buildings on the other, as the best examples of an architecture able. to express such values. Yet between these extremes one might also expect to find less authoritative if more interesting versions of this problem. It is proposed that the New Zealand Bach offers one such example where the architectural value is not simply the product of physical architectural expression, but rather acts as a cultural repository to house nationalistic values, which in turn construct its architectural significance.
