This volume finally gives the building the sustained critical attention it deserves. Eleven essays from a cross-section of Australian architecture's most distinguished voices — among them Daryl Jackson, Richard Goodwin, Angelo Candalepas, and Jennifer Taylor — construct a multifaceted portrait of a modernist Australian milestone. With photography by Max Dupain, the book moves between historical document, architectural criticism, and something closer to biography: the story of a visionary architect whose masterwork was progressively reshaped beyond his reach.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e192 pages of critical essays and Max Dupain photography documenting the design, construction, and contested legacy of the National Gallery of Australia\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEdited by Paul McGillick; designed by Paul Marcus Fuog and Uriah Gray\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEssays by Daryl Jackson, Richard Goodwin, Angelo Candalepas, Jennifer Taylor, and others\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePublished by Uro Publications, 2012\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat You'll Discover\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe controversies surrounding the NGA's design and construction, and Madigan's ultimately unsuccessful efforts to participate in revisions made by successive gallery directors over twenty years\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHow eleven contributors from across the Australian architecture community each bring a distinct critical voice to bear on a single, complex building\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMax Dupain's photography as a document of modernist public architecture at a specific moment in Australian cultural life\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhy the NGA represents not only Col Madigan's personal masterpiece but a measure of Australia's broader ambitions for civic and cultural architecture\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePaul McGillick edited this volume, drawing together eleven contributors from the Australian architecture community to produce the first dedicated critical study of the National Gallery of Australia.

For practitioners, students, and serious design readers seeking a structured account of Sydney's architectural heritage and contemporary production, this is an essential reference.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e192 pages of architectural photography, drawings, and detailed project descriptions across more than 100 buildings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEdited by Paul McGillick and Patrick Bingham-Hall\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePublished by Pesaro Publishing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat You'll Discover\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHow Sydney's natural landscape — harbour, bushland, topography — has shaped and complicated its architectural development\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe contrast between contemporary residential design and the city's older, more heterogeneous building stock\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDetailed drawn and photographic documentation across a broad cross-section of building types and eras\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe spatial logic of Australia's largest city read through more than 100 individual built works\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hardcover\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 192\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 230 x 240 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/strong\u003e English\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eISBN:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9781877015052\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pesaro Publishing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePerfect For:\u003c\/strong\u003e Architects, urban designers, and design historians with an interest in Australian architecture, Sydney's built environment, and the relationship between city-making and landscape.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pesaro Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":31467180364,"sku":"9781877015052","price":27.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1116\/0464\/products\/SYDNEY_ARCHITECTURE.png?v=1755050954"},{"product_id":"3-2-durbach-block-jaggers","title":"3+2: Durbach Block Jaggers","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e3+2: Durbach Block Jaggers\u003c\/strong\u003e is a double-volume portrait of one of Australia's most respected architectural practices, shot by two photographers who deliberately sidestep the conventions of architectural photography to embody rather than illustrate the work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eAbout This Book\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStructured as a 'double album' — two hardback books in a single slipcase — \u003cstrong\u003e3+2\u003c\/strong\u003e brings together distinct photographic bodies of work by Andrew Cowen and Julia Charles, each trained on selected projects by Sydney practice Durbach Block Jaggers. Neither photographer works habitually within the genre, and that distance from convention is the publication's defining strength. Rather than the standard suite of elevations and room-by-room wide-angles, the images pursue carved light, lustrous surfaces, and deep shadow. The result is a publication that treats photography as experience rather than documentation — a serious proposition for anyone interested in the relationship between architectural practice and its visual representation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo hardback volumes (130pp and 160pp) of non-conventional architectural photography\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEdited by Andrew Mackenzie; designed by Mark Gowing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProjects include North Bondi Surf Life Saving Club, Holman House, and Tamarama House (photography by Andrew Cowen), plus two central Sydney urban projects (photography by Julia Charles)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePublished by Uro Publications, 2018\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat You'll Discover\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHow photography can convey the sensory experience of architecture rather than serve as a record of its spatial sequence\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe contrast between coastal Sydney and the dense urban centre as two distinct conditions for architectural response by Durbach Block Jaggers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA collaborative editorial process between architects, photographers, designer, and editor developed over several years\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhy work by a single practice can sustain two entirely different photographic approaches without contradiction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis publication was edited by Andrew Mackenzie and designed by the award-winning Mark Gowing.

Drawing on a lifetime of teaching and mentorship at RMIT University, van Schaik presents his philosophical framework through 21 hand-drawn ideograms that work in concert with the text — not as illustration but as argument. The result is a manifesto for spatial intelligence as a discipline with genuine stakes, one capable of connecting architecture to broader human experience.

Alongside this, essays by Max Delany, Artistic Director of the Australian Centre for Contemporary Art, and Rory Hyde, Curator of Contemporary Architecture and Urbanism at the Victoria and Albert Museum, illuminate recurring motifs across JWA's recent projects: portals, thresholds, and framed views as instruments of architectural meaning.

The book draws on architectural theory, philosophy, and built precedent to make a case for architecture as a counter-measure to capital — a position that carries particular weight coming from a practice shaped by Tasmania's contested environmental politics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e176 pages of project photography, drawings, and critical essays on public space and urban design\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEssays by John Hong (professor at Seoul National University and director of Project: Architecture) and philosopher and architectural writer Andrew Benjamin on the intersection of Walter Benjamin and architecture\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReference projects by Bernard Tschumi, Steven Holl, James Stirling, and Carmody Groarke\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePublished by Uro Publications, 2019\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat You'll Discover\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHow TERROIR defines and deploys the Third Space as a deliberate counter-strategy to the capital-driven logics that govern large architectural commissions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe influence of Tasmanian landscape and environmental political tensions on TERROIR's approach to public space and urban openness\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAndrew Benjamin's philosophical reading of Walter Benjamin in relation to architectural practice and the conditions of the contemporary city\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHow international precedents by Tschumi, Holl, Stirling, and Carmody Groarke illuminate and contextualise TERROIR's own spatial strategies\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAndrew Benjamin is a philosopher and architectural writer whose essay in this volume examines the intersection of Walter Benjamin's thought and architectural practice.

This book follows his intellectual and professional journey from the Architectural Association in London, through the townships of apartheid South Africa, and into the lecture halls and studios of RMIT, where he built one of the world's most distinctive practice-based design research programs. Drawing on archival material and personal anecdote, van Schaik maps the conditions — pedagogical, cultural, and political — that allow creative ecologies to flourish.

Harry Margalit moves from the ambitious city-making experiment of Canberra to the stylistic contests that eventually cleared ground for modernism, and on through postwar reconstruction to contemporary practice. The account is not limited to Sydney and Melbourne: each state and territory receives attention, acknowledged for its distinct history and climatic conditions. The result is a portrait of Australian architecture at its most compelling — when civic idealism meets the sensory demands of a continent defined by extraordinary light and landscape.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e368 pages of architectural history spanning Federation to the new millennium, drawing on case studies from across all states and territories\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWritten by Harry Margalit, associate professor at the University of New South Wales\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePublished by Reaktion Books\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat You'll Discover\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHow Federation in 1901 catalysed a conscious search for distinctly Australian city forms and building typologies\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe planning and ideological ambitions behind Canberra as a model city, and what they reveal about early national self-image\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe stylistic battles through which modernism established itself in Australia, and the regional variations that emerged across different states and territories\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHow postwar reconstruction idealism shaped the built environment, and how that legacy persisted into the new millennium\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHarry Margalit is associate professor at the University of New South Wales in Sydney.

This book corrects that. Edited by two researchers embedded in the history of Queensland architecture, it moves beyond the shorthand of brutalism or international modernism to argue that Gibson's work was driven by a coherent, place-specific vision: a sub-tropical city sensitive to climate, attuned to its geography, and animated by civic use. For historians, architects, and anyone invested in Australian architectural identity, this is essential reading on how one practice shaped an entire city's cultural infrastructure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e344 pages of critical essays, architectural documentation, and project photography\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEdited by Dr Deborah van der Plaat and Lloyd Jones\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNotable projects include the Queensland Museum, State Library of Queensland, Performing Arts Complex, and Queensland Art Gallery\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePublished by Uro Publications, 2022\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat You'll Discover\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHow Gibson's civic buildings redefined Brisbane's cultural identity at an urban scale few Australian architects have matched\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe case for reading Gibson's architecture through the lens of sub-tropical climate and place rather than conventional modernist or brutalist categories\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhy Gibson — despite being named Queenslander of the Year and receiving the Australian Institute of Architects Gold Medal — left almost no written account of his own thinking, and what that absence means for understanding his work\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA critical historiography of Queensland architecture that situates post-war civic building within broader debates about climate, identity, and urban transformation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDr Deborah van der Plaat is an Honorary Senior Research Fellow in the School of Architecture at the University of Queensland, where she co-manages the Digital Archive of Queensland Architecture and researches the intersection of 19th and 20th-century Australian architecture with theories of climate, place, migration, and race.

The selection spans working drawings, journalism, contracts, mock-ups, and photography — material that rarely receives sustained critical attention. Originating as an exhibition at Monash University's MADA Gallery, the book functions as a cross-section of contemporary Australian architectural practice while simultaneously proposing a new framework for how architectural production is structured, recorded, and understood.

This book examines how that double displacement became generative: confronted with fierce tropical heat, glare, and the demands of affordable housing, Langer translated the formal vocabulary of international modernism into something responsive to Queensland's specific climatic and social conditions. Part monograph, part case study in tropical modernism, it also maps the trans-global dissemination of design ideas — how architectural thinking travels, mutates, and takes root in unfamiliar soil.

Each of the 26 featured structures — from Robin Boyd's Featherston House to the Griffins' Capitol Theatre, from Federation Square to the Sidney Myer Music Bowl — is met not with technical description but with fragments: poetic, photographic, and experiential. The result is a work that treats Melbourne's built environment as a site of myth, memory, and ongoing interpretation. This second edition presents the work in a lay-flat binding for the first time, allowing the full spread of Ross's photography to be read alongside Roper's verse without interruption. An introduction by architect, artist and poet Alex Selenitsch anchors the project in broader thinking about architecture and language.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e208 pages of lay-flat bound photography and poetry across 26 Melbourne buildings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePhotography by Tom Ross;

Railing against the decorative impulse, the wholesale adoption of American visual culture, and the refusal to forge a genuine national architectural identity, Boyd wrote with a critic's precision and an advocate's urgency. In an era defined by suburban sprawl, inner-city redevelopment, and the rhetoric of sustainability, his diagnosis of disconnected ideas and middle-of-the-road design decisions cuts no less deeply. Essential reading for anyone grappling with Australian architecture, urban identity, and the relationship between people and the environments they create.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e304 pages of sustained architectural and cultural criticism\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePublished by Text Publishing, ISBN 9781921922442\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat You'll Discover\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBoyd's thesis that Australia's ugliness stems from an ideological unwillingness to commit — in design as in politics — rather than from any failure of resources or craft\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA critique of Australia's ornamental and decorative approach to architecture, and its slavish imitation of American visual culture over a distinctly local design language\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAn argument for architecture grounded in genuine Australian identity, with Boyd positioning good design as inseparable from cultural self-awareness\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe enduring relevance of Boyd's concerns to contemporary debates around suburban sprawl, density, and the sustainability of how Australians build and inhabit space\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRobin Boyd was one of Australia's most prominent architects and architectural critics of the twentieth century.

This book makes the case for his reconsideration. Rather than treating the spread of modernist architecture as a simple diffusion from metropolitan centres to peripheral outposts, it demonstrates that the internationalisation of architecture followed dispersed, localised, and far more complex routes. Andrews himself navigated the postmodern turn not by abandoning modernism, but by absorbing its concerns — identity, history, place — into his existing formal language. His influence extended through architectural education, shaping design culture well beyond his own built work. Scholarly, richly detailed, and long overdue.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e300 pages examining Andrews's most significant buildings across three countries\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eContributors: Philip Goad, Paolo Scrivano, Paul Walker, Mary Lou Lobsinger, Peter Scriver, Antony Moulis\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePublished by Harvard University Press, 1990\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat You'll Discover\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHow the internationalisation of architecture during the late modern period operated through dispersed geographical flows rather than simple centre-to-periphery transmission\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAndrews's strategy of absorbing postmodern preoccupations — identity, history, place — within a modernist formal vocabulary, rather than rejecting either paradigm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe broader cultural influence Andrews exercised through architectural education and public appointments, beyond his personal portfolio of built work\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHow Andrews's career illuminates generational continuities and discontinuities between late modernism and what followed in Australian and international architecture\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePaul Walker is the editor and lead author of John Andrews: Architect of Uncommon Sense.

Curated by OFFICE, the project deliberately bypassed the university lecture theatre to situate critical conversation within the city itself. Volume Five collates the transcripts of 39 speakers from the first four volumes — each presenting distinct, often contradictory views on how public space is defined, occupied, and governed — and adds nine new voices including Gary Foley, Alison Young, Uncle Dave Wandin, and Wendy Steele. The result is a document that moves from diagnosis toward action, identifying pathways to more just and culturally equitable built environments through both community-led and policy-driven approaches.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e280 pages of curated lecture transcripts and conversations spanning all five volumes of the series\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNew contributors include Gary Foley, Alison Young, Lily Éire Parsons, Uncle Dave Wandin, Wendy Steele, Polly Stanton, and Olivia Daw\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCollates perspectives of 39 speakers from the original four volumes alongside nine new texts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePublished by OFFICE, 2018\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat You'll Discover\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHow locating discussions within Melbourne's own public spaces — its laneways, plazas, and parks — shaped the perspectives captured in these transcripts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe contradictions and tensions between diverse community voices on how public space should be designed, governed, and accessed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe role of marginalised and First Nations perspectives in reframing what equitable public space means in an Australian urban context\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHow bottom-up community approaches and top-down planning policy can be brought into productive relationship to enact meaningful spatial change\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Politics of Public Space is a project curated by OFFICE, a Melbourne-based practice that initiated the series as a public lecture programme in 2018.

This monograph surveys eleven built, in-progress, and unbuilt projects from the studio's first decade, from intimate residential work to large-scale educational buildings. Rather than a simple portfolio survey, the book foregrounds the practice's design process — how an architecture of consolidation, where ideas are distilled and formalised before they are ever built, produces spaces that carry genuine narrative weight. For anyone serious about contemporary Australian architecture and spatial storytelling, this is essential reading.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e192 pages of project photography, process documentation, and critical essays\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePhotography by renowned architectural photographer Peter Clarke\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNotable projects include Pavilion Between Trees, the multi-award-winning Piazza Dell'Ufficio, and the Arts and Technology Centre in Melbourne\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePublished by Artifice Books, 2022\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat You'll Discover\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHow Branch Studio Architects formalises ideas before translation into built form — the studio's defining design methodology laid bare across eleven projects\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConversations between Wray, Russo, and Melbourne architect Michael White on the nature of design-intensive practice\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePeter Clarke's insight into photographically documenting architecture that is as much about atmosphere and light as it is about form\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAn essay by Melbourne architectural historian Dr Conrad Hamann situating the studio's work within both Australian and international modernist traditions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBrad Wray and Nicholas Russo are the co-founders of Branch Studio Architects, a Melbourne-based practice established in 2012.

This monograph moves beyond the finished project to examine how the work is actually made: the prototypes that fail, the models that succeed, and the iterative culture that produces houses, retail interiors, hospitality venues, and cultural installations of genuine ambition. A reflective essay threads together the themes underpinning the practice's output, giving the documentation genuine intellectual ballast. For anyone interested in architectural process and materiality, this is a rare and immersive account of a studio that treats investigation as a design discipline in itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e288 pages of rarely seen prototype documentation, fabrication photography, and project models alongside completed works\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAuthored by Fleur Watson\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReflective essay revealing the conceptual themes that underpin March Studio's practice\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePublished by Thames \u0026amp;

The work collected here is ideas-led: it asks what architecture is, what it might do next, and how architects can exercise genuine agency when the discipline is so often treated as peripheral. Rather than a conventional graduate catalogue, this is a record of transdisciplinary architectural research conducted through design, by designing. Essential reading for anyone invested in architectural education, emerging practice, and the future of the discipline.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e320 pages of student project documentation, critical writing, and editorial commentary\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEdited by Vivian Mitsogianni, Tom Muratore, John Doyle, Amy Muir, Mietta Mullaly, and Liam Oxlade; graphic design by Stuart Geddes and Ziga Testen\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eContributors include Professor Roland Snooks, Professor Alisa Andrasek, Dr Emma Jackson, Dr Peter Brew, Dr Michael Spooner, and over fifty graduating student designers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePublished by Actar, 2022\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat You'll Discover\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHow RMIT's Master of Architecture program frames student research as a confrontation with disciplinary assumptions — not a consolidation of them\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe range of transdisciplinary approaches emerging designers are applying to architecture's most contested questions, from expanded definitions of the discipline to its role in complex societal challenges\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProjects that refuse to treat architecture as a peripheral contributor, instead asserting design agency across scales and contexts not typically claimed by the profession\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAn editorial and pedagogical framework, shaped by a large editorial collective, that treats the graduating project as speculative proposition rather than professional rehearsal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProfessor Vivian Mitsogianni leads the editorial direction of this volume alongside co-editors Tom Muratore, John Doyle, Amy Muir, Mietta Mullaly, and Liam Oxlade.

The book examines decolonising practices in the built environment — the ways Indigenous communities have subverted colonial spatial value systems imposed on their lands, towns, and cities. It confronts the mechanisms of gentrification, neo-liberal planning, and institutional decision-making that continue to displace and marginalise Indigenous peoples, while foregrounding Indigenous-led resistance, design, and place-making as active, ongoing practice.

Roger Benjamin grew up in the Round House, a building that won Australian House of the Year in 1958 and was Heritage Listed in 2003 — and this book is his meticulous account of its creation and the lives it shaped. Architect Alex Jelinek, a modernist-trained Czech refugee who fled his homeland by hijacking a plane, brought a European rigour to Canberra's postwar landscape. The clients, Bruce and Audrey Benjamin, were no less extraordinary. The result is a work where Australian modernist architecture, Cold War history, and intimate memoir converge with unusual clarity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e200 pages of architectural documentation, family history, and visual records of the Round House\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWritten by Roger Benjamin, who grew up in the Round House\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCovers the Round House, Canberra — Australian House of the Year 1958, Heritage Listed 2003\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePublished by Halstead Press, 2003\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat You'll Discover\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Pythagorean geometrical logic behind the Round House's deceptively circular exterior, including its central glass cylinder and mahogany structural beams\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe biography of Alex Jelinek — modernist architecture student in Prague, postwar refugee, and contributor to Australia's Snowy Hydro Scheme\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHow the Round House's unique handmade furniture by Krimper contributed to its status as a cohesive work of modernist design\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe cultural forces that shaped the house's story: Communist Czechoslovakia, postwar Canberra modernism, and the countercultural influence of the 1960s and 70s\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRoger Benjamin is the author's name as presented; he grew up in the Round House, the subject of this book, and has meticulous documented its design, construction, and the lives of those central to its creation.

This biographical dictionary documents hundreds of individuals who practised in Queensland from the beginning of European settlement through to the economic downturn of the late nineteenth century. Incorporating years of new archival research, it reflects more clearly the porous professional boundaries of the era — between architecture, surveying, engineering, and building — and better documents the careers of practitioners who moved across Australian colonies and beyond. Illustrated with predominantly contemporary images, each entry records lives and buildings with precision and economy.

Van Schaik's argument is precise: our accumulated experiences in physical space form a mental architecture — a spatial intelligence — that in turn governs how we perceive, design, and act. The vehicle for this argument is his own library, built over decades of teaching and research. Moving through its shelves, he identifies the texts that became conceptual touchstones, revealing the often intimate relationships behind each acquisition. The result is part intellectual memoir, part philosophy of inhabitation — a sustained reflection on art, poetry, and place that will resonate with architects, educators, and anyone who has found their thinking shaped by the built environment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e148 pages of architectural memoir, criticism, and personal library curation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBy Leon van Schaik AO, Emeritus Professor of Architecture, RMIT University\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShortlisted for the DAM Architectural Book Award 2025, Deutsches Architekturmuseum\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePublished by Uro Publications, 2025\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat You'll Discover\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHow spatial intelligence — the accumulation of past experiences in physical space — shapes the mental frameworks through which architects think and make decisions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe personal and intellectual histories behind key texts in van Schaik's library, and why certain books function as lasting conceptual references rather than mere sources\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA philosophy of inhabitation that draws on art, poetry, and philosophy to argue for a more nuanced, discerning approach to architectural knowledge\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAn intimate model for how a life of reading, collecting, and teaching produces a distinct architectural intelligence over time\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLeon van Schaik AO is Emeritus Professor of Architecture at RMIT University.

For Bangawarra, buildings are the after-effect of relations — not the destination. This publication broadens the architect's terrain to include political advocacy, manifestos, strategies, and masterplans alongside built work, organising projects across three scales: macro-strategic, urban precinct, and individual site. Each section is framed by an essay contextualising its projects as acts of reterritorialisation. At a moment when architectural agency is both contested and contracting, this book makes a sustained argument for expansion — insisting that architecture must claim new territories if it is to engage meaningfully with the social, ecological, and economic conditions of the present.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e224 pages of built projects, masterplans, political manifestos, strategies, and contextualising essays\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEssays by Andrew Benjamin, Tarsha Finney, Gerard Reinmuth, and Amaia Sánchez-Velasco\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThird volume in a series following \u003cem\u003eInstruments\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eThird Spaces\u003c\/em\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGood Design Award 2025 winner, Communications: Print and Packaging\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePublished by Uro Publications, 2025\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat You'll Discover\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHow relational thinking — across cultural, political, economic, and social dimensions — redefines the architect's scope and professional agency\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA three-tier framework for practice spanning macro-scale strategic projects, precinct and urban planning, and individual built sites\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhy architecture's endpoint is not the building but the network of conditions the building emerges from\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA critical argument, framed through Bangawarra's own work, for why repositioning architectural practice is necessary for survival — ecological, economic, and professional\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBangawarra is an architecture practice whose work spans built projects, urban strategies, and political advocacy across Australia and Europe. \u003cem\u003eTerritories\u003c\/em\u003e is the third monograph in a purposeful publishing series that reframes what practice documentation can be, following \u003cem\u003eInstruments\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eThird Spaces\u003c\/em\u003e.

Its highly expressive form is both machinic and handcrafted, its visual language shockingly new yet strangely familiar — qualities that emerge directly from the digital fabrication methods its designers used to build it. Paul Loh and David Leggett, practitioners who operate at the intersection of architecture, academia, and making, argue that their mode of working — what they call ‘digital material practice’ — is neither pure theory nor conventional practice, but an engaged form of design research. This book documents that research in full: the techniques, the decisions, the construction logic, and the broader argument for what happens when computational design meets the building site.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e296 pages of documented fabrication processes, construction photography, and design drawings for Northcote House\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAuthored by Professor Paul Loh and David Leggett, the designers and builders of Northcote House\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePublished by Uro Publications, 2025\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat You'll Discover\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHow digital manufacturing tools — typically confined to university fabrication labs — were applied directly to residential construction on a standard building site\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe specific techniques Leggett and Loh developed to fabricate, assemble, and construct Northcote House, including their approach to material efficiency and spatial organisation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe theoretical underpinning of ‘digital material practice’ as a mode of design research that operates between academic inquiry and built outcome\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhy the baroque — as a sensibility of surface, form, and excess — becomes a productive framework for understanding where computational design is taking architecture\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProfessor Paul Loh is Head of the Abedian School of Architecture and lead coordinator of the Architecture Futures Laboratory at Bond University; previously he held senior roles at the Melbourne School of Design, University of Melbourne, and has taught and lectured at institutions including the Architectural Association, ETH Zurich, Lund University, and Tsinghua University.
