The Australian Architecture Foundation has announced the
availability of its first major publication, 'Under the Edge', a significant new book which documents for the
first time the complete work of leading Australian Architect and teacher, Peter
Stutchbury. The book, recently launched at the Royal Institute of British
Architects in London, celebrates the quintessential Australian design that is
now so sought after internationally. The reader is taken on a journey of
discovery through many exquisite buildings and, through Stutchburys own words and
images the underpinnings of his philosophy and practice. Through the eyes of
leading architectural photographer, Michael Nicholson, the reader is presented
with a rich showcase of ideas and inspiration, together with critical essays on
Stutchburys work by his good friends Richard Leplastrier and Professor Brit
Andresen, and by Ingerid Helsing Almaas, Editor of Arkitektur N, the Norwegian
Architectural Review.
Renowned both in Australia and internationally, Peter Stutchburys architecture
speaks for itself and is well recognised bythe profession in Australia through
his numerous awards. He has also attracted international attention and acclaim through
publication in respected journals, his success in the 2008 International Living
Steel Competition for extreme climate housing in Cherepovets, Russia, and his recent completion of the 'Wall
House in Japan for renowned fashion designer Issey Miyake.
The book incorporates a collection of 'Projects in Brief that cover seminal
works of his early practice plus fourteen major recent 'Projects in Detail are
presented, none of which have been previously published. In this latter
section, those looking to understand what constitutes inspirational
architectural creativity, planning and design are supplied with an abundance of explanatory texts, sketches and plans to supplement the all new
photography. For those interested in further information on the architect,
there is also an illustrated chronology of all his works, together with a
section on his working studio.
