Australian architecture: a history

Description

Unique IDLIB-00019959DateBetween 1st January 2022 and 1st March 2022Date qualifieryear onlyDescriptionIncludes bibliographical references and index.
From First Nations gunyahs and First Fleet huts to 21st century eco-pavilions and skyscrapers, Davina Jackson surveys the evolution of architecture in Australia. Dr Jackson explores how early colonial building designers like James Bloodworth, Francis Greenway and John Lee Archer interpreted classical European styles using local stone and timber. She examines how medieval and Renaissance monuments influenced leading architects during the 19th century, until the fresh winds of modernism and demands for a unique Australian style took over in the 20th century, with environmental challenges and technological innovations driving change in recent years.Copyright ownerDavina JacksonLanguageEnglish (eng)AuthorDavina JacksonIllustrationsColour illustrationsBlack and white illustrationsPublisherAllen & UnwinPlace of publicationCrows Nest, NSW
