World House News Monday, November 3, 2008 Designing of Beach houses in australia Architects in Australia have created some of the most unusual and great buildings in the world. Internationally recognised Australian icons contain buildings like the Sydney Opera House and the new Parliament House in Canberra . Distinctive Australian architecture is also recognisable in the rural icons of the Queenslander, the 'wool shed' and the 'beach house' which have developed in response to climate, history, place and uniqueness. Characteristically, these designs used local equipment as well as corrugated iron and emphasised space and light as well as a connection to the landscape. These classic qualities were frequently sacrificed in the development of the Australian suburbs where 85 per cent of Australians have lived since 1900. Australian architect and critic Robin Boyd once described the Australian suburbs as most awful failing. Australian architects like Boyd and Roy Grounds have argued for the value of modern Australian architecture as an expression of a local identity which balanced the ideals of art and architecture against local climate and social realities. posted by cedar @ 3:36 AM permanent link   | Post a Comment |  Share   0 Comments: Post a Comment << Home
