It represents 30 years of architecture, beginning with domestic projects designed at the height of the Sydney School, a movement which perhaps created the only collectively identifiable contemporary architecture yet to emerge in Australia. The Australian continent is a vast island of dramatically varied terrains, each demanding widely divergent solutions which lend themselves to innovation and improvisation. The roots of the architecture illustrated in this book are in the environment, both natural and built, and in the Australian vernacular. The early woolsheds and barns, while being directly responsive to their function, the landscape and the climate, were remarkably innovative in form and they nearly always expressed their structure. Our architecture is an intuitive response to this unpedigreed architecture, recognisable as having an innate spirit of place and the potential for evolving into a contemporary architecture of enormous spirit and vitality. We have often reinterpreted it to respond to contemporary and urban contexts, to newly available technologies and to emerging issues, but a constant course has been steered toward solving problems of design in a direct and honest manner with poetic qualities derived from structure and envelope rather than from applique.
