Résumé:
The architecture of Alex Popov is firmly grounded in an abstract monumentality. His response is not mimetic, it does not attempt to merge into or become one within a particular context, but rather establishes a relationship through juxtaposition and contrast, the framing of views, and the light filled spatial experience within. The architect's recent work has become one(...)

Résumé:
The architecture of Alex Popov is firmly grounded in an abstract monumentality. His response is not mimetic, it does not attempt to merge into or become one within a particular context, but rather establishes a relationship through juxtaposition and contrast, the framing of views, and the light filled spatial experience within. The architect's recent work has become one of the most significant expressions of Australian contemporary architecture. Ten recent projects are examined here through sketches, formal drawings and colour photographs.

Résumé:
The four states of architecture described in this book - horizon, light, atmospheres, and ground - are derived from contemporary interpretations of matter, light, and the natural world. This book features fourteen of Hanrahan + Meyers' projects, each of which is aligned with one of these states. The projects range in scale from individual residences to galleries, museums, and buildings for the performing arts. The context of ideas in which they are set crosses the boundaries that typically divide architecture, art, science, and experience.

Résumé:
Homa Farjadi's recent work reveals a consistent, reflective grasp on the role of design in shaping public space within our changing cities. In these projects, there is a sense of public space where citizens or users of the sites construct their own spaces while experiencing them. These architectures and landscapes incorporate spatial vectors, tensions, lines of flow, all interwoven within the historic and current urban context, resulting in design that appears as a still snapshot within a complex system of movement.
