Living the Modern: Australian Architecture (eds. Claudia Perren & Kristien Ring; Hatje Cantz 2007), is an exhibition book about Australia’s so-called progressive modernism.
Since the nineteen-fifties, a unique form of modern architecture has been developing in Australia – a ‘progressive modernism,’ which involves the dynamic combination of tradition and transformation. This catalogue accompanies the exhibition Living the Modern Australian Architecture, and analyzes this culture – an environment-specific architecture, using its residential constructions as a basis for examination.
