Desire and Identity
"The Melbourne architectural firm Chancellor and Patrick emerged in the 1950s to become one of Victoria's most successful and innovative practices. Desire and identity: The architecture of Chancellor and Patrick is the first exhibition to consider the collaborative working practice underpinning the two architects' approach, enabling a comprehensive examination of their ideas, desires and creative focus. Including over 100 rarely seen archival photographs, original drawings from the architects' own collection and artefacts from the period such as textiles, furniture and pottery, this important, retrospective exhibition has been curated by Dr Winsome Callister"--Publisher's website.
Art and Design
This book is a selection of essays covering aspects of the history, and contemporary understanding of the fields of art and design and their inter-percolation. Making things has always involved skill and thought. Thought is given to their creation so they are fit for purpose. Where the purpose is aesthetic or intellectual pleasure, the resulting object is often called art. There is, however, often a hierarchy placing “art” somewhere apart from “design.” But isn’t some art designed? These essays investigate aspects of this dichotomy – from both sides of the supposed divide to discuss the ground between.

Cities of Hope Remembered
"Cities of hope remembered rehearsed tells the story of a life lived through architecture and design. Drawing on the success of the critically acclaimed Cities of Hope, this long-awaited publication includes a facsimile of the highly prized original book, a complete catalogue of new architectural works and reflects on Edmond & Corrigan’s extraordinary contribution to Australian architectural culture. In addition, this volume includes a comprehensive showcase of never-before-published theatre works along with archival letters, articles and rare reflections on a rich and diverse career. Designed by Stuart Geddes of Chase & Galley with Peter Corrigan, Cities of hope remembered rehearsed is the antitheses of the ubiquitous, glossy coffee table architecture book. Instead, it delivers an inspiring and rigorous survey of the works of this internationally respected RAIA Gold Medal winning Australian architectural practice. A valuable resource and collector’s item for students, practitioners and all those engaged with a passion for design."--Publisher's website.

Robin Boyd: Spatial Continuity
Australian architect Robin Boyd (1919–1971) advocated tirelessly for the voice of Australian architects so that there could be an architecture that might speak to Australian conditions and sensibilities.His legacy continues in the work of contemporary Australian architects yet also prompts a way forward for architecture particularly in relationship to the landscapes they inhabit through a quality of continuous space found in his work where the buildings are spatially reliant and sympathetic to the places they occupy. A selection of 22 projects are documented comprehensively in this book for the first time. This slice through Boyd’s body of work reveals a gifted, complex and contemporary thinker.
