Australian cities are being remade by an unprecedented boom. Today more flats than houses are being built in Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane.
'Homes in the Sky' is the first comprehensive study of apartment buildings in Australia and features many of the best-known and most sought-after apartment buildings.
Since apartment buildings first appeared in Australia one hundred years ago, their proponents and critics have argued as to how they have transformed our cities urban and social structure and architectural character. While historians and other image-makers celebrated Australia's suburbs, another way of life was flourishing.
Focusing on the range of apartments from public housing to luxury housing, 'Homes in the Sky' is lavishly illustrated by 260 photos, architectural renderings, and other images. Many photos are the work of Max Dupain, Australia's best-known architectural photographer; Max Dupain & Associates have supplied both archival as well as specially commissioned contemporary photography.
