THE AUSTRALIAN VERNACULAR
Travel anywhere in Australia and you’ll see extraordinary traditional functional architecture. It doesn’t line the pages of Design Magazines but its history, weathered patina and stark beauty never ceases to capture me. A few personal favorites:
+ Lake Mungo shearing sheds
+ The Geelong Wool Stores
+ Countless silos across countless towns
+ Old railbridges – Orbost, Kilcunda etc
+ Pambula Racecourse grandstand & showground pavilion
