Book Synopsis The Australian Ugliness by : Robin Boyd
Download or read book The Australian Ugliness written by Robin Boyd and published by Text Publishing. This book was released on 2010-03-29 with total page 301 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fifty years after its first publication, Robin Boyd's bestselling The Australian Ugliness remains the definitive statement on how we live and think in the environments we create for ourselves. In it Boyd rallied against Australia's promotion of ornament, decorative approach to design and slavish imitation of all things American. 'The basis of the Australian ugliness,' he wrote, 'is an unwillingness to be committed on the level of ideas. In all the arts of living, in the shaping of all her artefacts, as in politics, Australia shuffles about vigorously in the middle - as she estimates the middle - of the road, picking up disconnected ideas wherever she finds them.' Boyd was a fierce critic, and an advocate of good design. He understood the significance of the connection between people and their dwellings, and argued passionately for a national architecture forged from a genuine Australian identity. His concerns are as important now, in an era of suburban sprawl and inner-city redevelopment, as they were half a century ago. Caustic and brilliant, The Australian Ugliness is a masterpiece that enables us to see our surroundings with fresh eyes. This handsome anniversary edition is complemented by Robin Boyd's original sketches for the book and a new afterword by major contemporary architects.
Book Synopsis Better Together by : Guillermo Fernández-Abascal
Download or read book Better Together written by Guillermo Fernández-Abascal and published by . This book was released on 2021-11-15 with total page 110 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To understand how architecture is both built and practiced today, we often think of drawings and plans, digital visualisations and 3D models. Or, perhaps the tired 'napkin sketch' and its romantic progenitor, the architect's hand. However, these processes represent only a small portion of the full story.Better together: 33 documents of contemporary Australian architecture & their associated short stories does just that-examines 33 artefacts surrounding the design and construction of contemporary Australian buildings. The book's definition of architectural documents is expansive, encompassing not just working drawings, but correspondence, mock-ups and contracts, 1:1 models and conceptual sculptures, journalism, photography and other formats that expose the unique processes of contemporary architectural production.Through short stories, authors Guillermo Fernández-Abascal, Kate Finning, Urtzi Grau and Anna Tonkin contextualise documents from practitioners including Andrew Power, Edition Office, panovscott, Parlour, Richard Stampton, Sibling, Studio Bright, Trias, Vokes and Peters to unravel the artefacts' inner lives. Contributions by Giovanna Borasi, Bruther (Stephanie Bru), Sarah Hearne, Adam Jasper and Emma Letizia Jones, Erika Nakagawa, and Jesús Vassallo explore the potent conventions of gallery display, the value of big models and mock-ups, the multilayered relationships between photography and architecture, and the theatrics of the architect's studio. Originally presented as an exhibition at Monash University's MADA Gallery, this cross-section of the work of Australian architects highlights the best and most innovative in the field. It also presents a new blueprint for how we structure, document and understand contemporary Australian architecture.

Book excerpt: Since the nineteen-fifties, a unique form of modern architecture has been developing in Australia-a "progressive modernism," which involves the dynamic combination of tradition and transformation. This catalogue accompanies the exhibition Living the Modern_Australian Architecture, and analyzes this culture- and environment-specific architecture, using its residential constructions as a basis for examination.

Book Synopsis Picturing Architecture by : Desley Luscombe
Download or read book Picturing Architecture written by Desley Luscombe and published by Fine Art Publishing. This book was released on 1992 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents a range of graphic images used in the production of Australian architecture. It pictures perspective, axonometric and orthogonal images and each is examined for its specific aesthetic qualities and the techniques and materials used in the production of final artwork. To clarify the distinctive characteristics of the graphic images, each is accompanied by a statement about the design, written by the architect and, where available, photographs of the completed building. The introductory text questions how the selected drawings might be seen to characterise a visibility of cultural production with regard to the present formation of our architectural profession. This question opens two domains of analysis - firstly, the roles of the observer and artist/architect in relation to the currency of visual codes and secondly, the application to architectural production of visual codes from artistic media. These domains of analysis issue further debate on the necessity of architectural drawing to fulfil the representational role of making comprehensible projected built form.
Book Synopsis Gunyah, Goondie + Wurley by : Paul Memmott

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "When Europeans first reached Australian shores, a long-held and expedient perception developed that Australian Aboriginal people did not have houses or settlements, that they occupied temporary camps, sheltering in makeshift huts or lean-tos of grass and bark. This book redresses that notion, exploring the range and complexity of Aboriginal-designed structures, spaces and territorial behaviour, from minimalist shelters to permanent houses and villages. 'Gunyah, Goondie and Wurley' encompasses Australian Aboriginal Architecture from the time of European contact to the work of the first Aboriginal graduates of university-based courses in architecture, bringing together in one place a wealth of images and research."--Publisher's website.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The story of Australian architecture might be said to parallel the endeavours of Australians to adapt & reconcile themselves with their home & neighbours.

Early settlers were poorly provisioned, profoundly ignorant of the land & richly prejudiced towards its peoples. They pursued many paths over many terrains. From the moist temperate region of Tasmania with heavy Palladian villas to the monsoonal north with open, lightweight stilt houses, the continent has induced most different regional building styles.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the 1950s to the 1970s, the work of Lloyd Wright, Gropius and Mies Van Der Rohe strongly influenced a generation of young Australian architects, who adopted modernist principles in their work. In Iconic Australian Houses: Three Decades of Domestic Architecture, Karen McCartney presents 15 significant examples of homes from this period, each designed by a different architect, that combine outstanding architectural principles and authentic interior decor. A detailed introduction places the period in social, historical and architectural context, before each of the selected homes is individually reviewed in an informed and engaging style. In each example the relationship between the architect and owner is discussed, as is the linking of the building to its site, materials and architectural detailing. The author has interviewed many architects and owners for their personal insights. Each study includes a feature on the interior decoration and a discussion of designers and manufacturers of iconic furniture, fittings and fabrics. Iconic Australian Houses features stunning photography, both panoramic and detailed, throughout. The homes from these three decades form a significant part of Australian architectural history and this book is a timely reminder of the need to preserve them as cultural artefacts.
