What happens

The Art of The Architect is a 2014 New Zealand television series about architecturally-designed building projects, and is similar in format to Grand Designs. The New Zealand actor and narrator Peter Elliott presented the programme. Elliott had previously studied art history and architecture, and worked as a designer. The series was originally intended to be recorded over an 18-month period, but building delays meant that it took more than four years. The series was broadcast in 2014. Only one series was produced, as the broadcaster TVNZ declined to commission further episodes. Grand Designs New Zealand, the local spinoff of the British programme, was first broadcast in 2015.
