The Encyclopedia of Australian Architecture by Philip Goad and Julie Willis (eds).
For those who have ever wondered about the history behind Australia’s iconic beach houses, homesteads or the soaring sails of the Sydney Opera House, this book – the first encyclopedia dedicated to Australian architecture – is a must.
From the earliest days of Indigenous architecture through colonial, modern and contemporary eras, the compilation discusses and provides examples of styles, and profiles individuals and firms who have contributed to design trends. The book is edited by the University of Melbourne’s professor of architecture Philip Goad and associate professor in architecture Julie Willis, and includes insightful entries from more than 150 contributors.
