Australian architect Robin Boyd (1919-1971) advocated tirelessly
for the voice of Australian architects so that there could be an
architecture that might speak to Australian conditions and
sensibilities.His legacy continues in the work of contemporary
Australian architects yet also prompts a way forward for
architecture particularly in relationship to the landscapes they
inhabit through a quality of continuous space found in his work
where the buildings are spatially reliant and sympathetic to the
places they occupy. A selection of 22 projects are documented
comprehensively in this book for the first time. This slice through
Boyd's body of work reveals a gifted, complex and contemporary
thinker.
The Irish architecture firm DFLA (Dermot Foley Landscape
Architects) is known for pushing the boundaries of landscape
architecture. While the studio's previous practice has been
characterized by detail-oriented observation and spatial
intervention, its latest projects, collected in this publication,
are devoted to the question of the influence of time. Engagements
with issues such as the circular economy and ecology have recently
led DFLA to artistic approaches to environmental science. Created
in Ireland and beyond, the works speak to themes of perception,
craft, neglect, and imperfection. The book includes both
illustrated concepts and realized landscape architecture. It
reflects the studio's complex approach and its successes to date.
