ARCHITECTURE
Australian architecture has come of age in the last decade and a new generation of architects is showing the world their imagination and sophistication.
This best-selling book reviews the work of 14 of Australia’s most significant and dynamic architectural practices. The evolution, the philosophy and the projects of each practice are documented with extensive text and illustrations. Philip Goad’s introductory text is broad-ranging and erudite, providing the definitive overview of Australian architecture at the beginning of the 21st century.
