Under the Edge2011

There is an historical interface at play in Australia between the hegemony of western culture and the many and exotic cultures of the east, of the Pacific Islands and Australias Indigenous cultures that exposes a deep understanding of building in harmony with place, climate and nature. This interface is particularly clear in the work of Peter Stutchbury, as is clearly shown in this extensive and beautifully produced monograph. Projects range from beach houses to garden houses, from his Hangar Flying Museum in Hunter Valley to a woolshed Wagga Wagga.
