Recording some 200 of the most significant structures and places, this
volume presents Australian architecture produced during the
unprecedented building boom of the mid- to late-1990s. These projects
range from the breezy east-coast houses of Clare Design and Peter
Stutchbury and the stadia built for the Sydney Olympics, to Melbourne's
wave of daring monuments by Denton Corker Marshall, Peter Corrigan,
Ashton Raggatt McDougall and Wood Marsh. Davina Jackson and Chris
Johnson survey the contemporary scene in two central essays, with 33
concise chapters that explore prevailing styles and building types. The
third section presents 22 extremely detailed case studies that examine
the most remarkable public buildings and houses from a wide range of
geographical areas.
