Australia has wildly differing topographies and climates, and its
best residential architecture draws on those site conditions in
inventive ways. This book illustrates the strength of the country's
shift from British-influenced Georgian-style homes to more
indigenous structures attuned to the land-a movement led by
Australian architects such as Glenn Murcutt, Richard Leplastrier,
and Gabriel Poole in the 1970s. Witness a range of new houses that
grapple with the locales in which they are built. Up north, down
south, and on the coast, from small and low-budget to
multimillion-dollar dwellings, the focus is on the use of raw
materials, energy efficiency, adaptable spaces, and embrace of the
great outdoors for which the country is known. Drawings and
interviews with the architects shed light on how they apply their
intelligence and creativity to produce striking buildings that are
uniquely Australian.
