Shane Thompson: Making a Sub-Tropical Architecture
Preface by Paul Thomas. Essay by Louise Nobel. Text in English. Milano, 2003; hardback, pp. 118, col. plates and ill., cm 24x24. In contemporary Australian architecture the relationship between edifice and environment is often felt more strongly than elsewhere, and Shane Thompson's work proves it; climate, habitat, and landscape represent privileged reference points in his constructions. These elements are brought together under a design perspective that pays attention to the developments of modern architecture, technology, and the world of art.
