Sydney Architecture documents the rich architectural tradition of Australia's oldest and largest city. From the early elegant Regency mansions through to the recent structurally expressive houses, the city's best architecture has always responded to the stunning landscape. Sleek modern houses contrast vividly with the unruly bushland and the beautiful harbour, as exemplified by the magnificent Opera House - one of the world's most celebrated buildings.Notable historic architects featured in this book include Francis Greenway, John Verge and Walter Burley Griffin. Recent internationally renowned architects include Glenn Murcutt, Philip Cox, Renzo Piano, Stutchbury & Pape, Durbach Block and Alex Popov.Over 100 buildings are profiled and illustrated with drawings and photographs. Introductory essays and detailed descriptions of each project have been written by Paul McGillick. Photography is by Patrick Bingham-Hall.

With over 350 vibrant photographs, extensive commentary and architectural plans, this architecture and design book showcases the modern luxury homes of Asia. The Sustainable Asian House celebrates modern architecture as an expression of environmental, social and cultural sustainability, as seen in some of the most breathtaking luxury homes in Southeast Asia. Gorgeous residences in Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia and the Philippines beautifully exemplify the trend towards sustainable architecture that engages with the natural world. The 27 houses featured in this fascinating and stunningly photographed architectural digest provide endless inspiration for architects, designers, builders and home buyers. The Sustainable Asian House illuminates the region's reinterpretation of tropical architecture and the growing interest in traditional materials and craftsmanship. There is a new emphasis on fresh air, natural light and spatial variety, reflecting the importance of well-being. Designers are considering issues such as orientation to the sun and prevailing winds to reduce energy consumption and carbon footprint. Instead of treating the tropical climate as something to overcome, the architects featured in this book present regional solutions on how to live appropriately in the contemporary tropical world.
