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 With photography by Max Dupain, the book moves between historical document, architectural criticism, and something closer to biography: the story of a visionary architect whose masterwork was progressively reshaped beyond his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.

The resulting 42 paired photographs resist easy categorisation, functioning simultaneously as architectural photography, documentary work, and social commentary. The volume extends a century-long dialogue between Katsura Rikyū as a built place, Japan as a cultural context, and the Western architectural gaze.

Edited by Andrea Deplazes, the book moves with deliberate logic through four interlocking scales: raw materials and building materials, elements and components, structural systems and building methods, and finally complete buildings examined as documented examples. This edition introduces new sections on elevators, shell construction and core-and-shell methods, and expands the typology discussion to include courtyard and veranda houses. Three additional projects are documented step-by-step through their full design processes.

In this collection of essays, Zumthor does not explain his buildings so much as illuminate the thinking beneath them: what it means to place a structure in a landscape, how contemporary architecture can be integrated into traditional contexts without capitulation or pastiche. Now in its third edition, the book includes two new essays. \"Architecture and Landscape\" examines the topographical and sensory relationship between structure and site. \"The Leis Houses\" traces the genesis of two wooden houses in Graubünden, grounding abstract ideas in a specific, considered design process.

This book condenses his original six-volume series into 348 distinct colour combinations, presented with the same sensuous attention to design that characterises the work itself. For designers, artists, and anyone working with colour in a serious capacity, it functions simultaneously as a historical document and a living reference tool — a rare combination in colour research publishing. The compact format makes it as useful on a desk as in a studio bag.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e256 pages of curated colour combination swatches drawn from Wada's original research\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e348 individual colour combinations spanning traditional and Western-influenced palettes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePublished by Seigensha\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat You'll Discover\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHow a Japanese artist and costume designer in the 1930s synthesised traditional and Western colour thinking into a systematic reference\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e348 colour combinations spanning a range of moods, temperatures, and cultural registers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe historical foundations of contemporary colour combination research and practice\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA working palette resource that bridges Wada's early twentieth-century context with current design application\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSanzo Wada (1883–1967) was a Japanese artist, teacher, and designer of costumes and kimonos who worked during a formative period in avant-garde Japanese art and cinema.

The inclusion of unrealised projects alongside built work makes this a genuine record of architectural thinking, not simply a portfolio.

This extensively produced monograph traces the thinking and making behind that sensibility, examining how Indigenous relationships to country have shaped his approach to siting, material, and form. The projects gathered here range across scales and programs: beach houses and garden houses, a Hangar Flying Museum in the Hunter Valley, a wool shed in Wagga Wagga.

It is not merely a biographical landmark; Bo Bardi conceived it as a demonstration of how architecture must maintain a critical distance from individuals, community, and the natural environment simultaneously — a position that would shape every subsequent work of her career. Photographed by Yukio Futagawa, one of the foremost architectural photographers of the twentieth century, this volume captures the house in a state that still reflects the original design intent, its structure emerging directly from the Brazilian landscape.

Big data makes them visible, and that visibility changes everything. This volume, emerging from MIT's SENSEable City Lab, investigates how the avalanche of real-time urban data is transforming the way planners, architects, and researchers understand and intervene in cities. It moves between optimism and critique: demonstrating how data-driven urbanism enables more flexible responses to infrastructure, transportation, and waste, while also interrogating the risks of pervasive data acquisition and urban surveillance.

Moving through three cities — Weimar, Dessau, and Berlin — the school gathered some of the 20th century's most significant creative figures: Josef and Anni Albers, Wassily Kandinsky, Paul Klee, Oskar Schlemmer, Gunta Stölzl, Marianne Brandt, and Ludwig Mies van der Rohe. Magdalena Droste's account captures both the institutional ambition and the intensely personal community at its core — a place united by utopian idealism and a belief in the Gesamtkunstwerk, the total work of art.

As a founding member of the Congrès international d'architecture moderne (CIAM), Le Corbusier positioned architecture as a social art — a conviction that runs through every project covered here.

This volume surveys his work across private homes, churches, museums, apartment complexes, and cultural institutions in Japan, France, Italy, Spain, and the United States, offering a structured entry point into a career defined by material restraint and spatial intensity.
