The Material City is a celebration of Australian architects and designers whose work explores problems of urban density in Australia’s capital cities. These case studies demonstrate how local architects are responding to, and facilitating, urban densification in the context of Australia and the particularities of each location. They also highlight the nuances in Australian architecture and represent the ingenuity and creativity of the architecture industry. With 50 projects and 20 essays, this comprehensive volume will delight anyone interested in urban architecture and design, and how we seek to manage population densities.
