Modernist Folio

Australian mid-century domestic architecture at folio scale. Studies of the houses that defined the post-war reinvention of the Australian home — the bushland modernism of Robin Boyd, the International Style imports of Harry Seidler, the cantilevered river houses of the McIntyres, and the forms developed by the architects who worked alongside them in the decades between 1945 and the early 1970s. The thirty plates are arranged across four sections. Section I gathers eight Robin Boyd-era houses — the bushland courtyards, open plans, and gentle marriage of timber and brick that defined the Melbourne school. Section II turns to Harry Seidler and the Sydney generation, including the Rose Seidler house at Wahroonga. Section III collects studies of other mid-century architects — Roy Grounds, Peter and Dione McIntyre, and the contemporaries who experimented with round forms, A-frames, and the brutalism of the late period. Section IV closes with six plates of mid-century details — open stairs, breeze-block walls, signature joinery, and the small materials gestures that mark the period. Thirty plates at 300dpi, sized for A4 folio printing or generous tablet work. Delivered as a high-resolution PDF, with lifetime re-downloads from the personal library after purchase.
