Place Makers: Queensland architecture
|
'California Dreaming' is the title of a paper written by Andrew Wilson. It is a wonderful insight into the development of the modern Australian house, and the inspiration many architects, particularly those in post-war Queensland, took from American and British architectural magazines and museum shows, particularly one called Brazil Builds, which opened at the Museum of Modern Art in New York in 1943. Andrew Wilson has written an essay as part of the catalogue for a show opening today at the Queensland Gallery of Modern Art in Brisbane. The show is Place Makers: Contemporary Queensland Architects. It runs till 23 November 2008.
