Among them were figures who would come to define Melbourne modernism, including Robin Boyd, Anatol Kagan, McGlashan Everist, and Peter and Dione McIntyre.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWorking with a difficult riverside landscape, these architects tested ideas about light, site and modern domestic life that would influence Australian architecture for decades. Architect Jake Taylor and photographer Jack Lovel visit the key houses, recording the creative energy behind this small district and making the case for it as a lasting record of Australian modernism.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKey midcentury houses in Studley Park, Kew, documented in new photography by Jack Lovel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWork by Robin Boyd, Anatol Kagan, McGlashan Everist, and Peter and Dione McIntyre\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWritten by a practising architect with a research focus on midcentury houses\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA close study of a single Melbourne neighbourhood and its architects\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat You'll Discover\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHow a cluster of architects shaped one riverside neighbourhood in the postwar decade\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHow a steep, wooded site drove experiments with light, planning and landscape\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe houses that helped define Melbourne modernism\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhy Studley Park remains a rare, concentrated record of midcentury Australian design\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJake Taylor is a registered architect practising in Melbourne and San Francisco, with a focus on residential work and a long-standing interest in midcentury architectural research.
