In recording some 200 of Australia's most significant buildings and places, this title captures work that has been completed since 1994. Far beyond the stereotypical image of Australian architecture - tin sheds with corrugated iron roofs and outback farmhouses - these projects range from the breezy east-coast houses of Clare Design and Peter Stutchbury to Sidney's Olympics Stadium and Melbourne's wave of daring monuments by Denton Croker Marshall, Peter Corrigan, Ashton Raggatt McDougall and Wood Marsh. The book surveys this contemporary scene in two central essays, with 33 chapters that present prevailing styles and building types. The third section presents 22 case studies that examine public buildings and houses in detail.
