Field: Issue 1 is the inaugural publication of the Regional Architecture Association — a journal that repositions regional practice not as a peripheral concern but as a site of genuine architectural innovation, from hempcrete construction in remote contexts to housing strategy across the East Coast.
About This Book
Produced by the Regional Architecture Association, Field takes its name and its orientation from the landscapes, communities, and creative conditions that define practice beyond the metropolitan centre. This first issue moves across an uncommonly broad range of territory: housing strategy, regional resilience, public works procurement, prefabrication, and the material realities of building remotely. Through essays, project profiles, and conversations, it assembles perspectives stretching from the East Coast to Central Australia — documenting how architects, makers, and communities are developing forms of practice that are more responsive, resourceful, and embedded in place. For anyone engaged with regional architecture or the future of the profession outside capital cities, this is essential reading.
