That year marked the beginning of a search for city forms and better buildings to accommodate the realities of Australian life and to express an emerging distinctive and, eventually, confident Australian identity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhile Sydney and Melbourne were the settings for many of the major buildings, all states and territories developed architectural traditions based on distinctive histories and climates. \u003cem\u003eAustralia\u003c\/em\u003e covers the flowering of these many variants, from the bid to create a model city in Canberra, through the stylistic battles that opened a space for modernism, to the idealism of postwar reconstruction and beyond to the new millennium. It reveals a vibrant and influential culture, at its best when it matches a civic idealism with the sensuality of a country of stunning light and landscapes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\"In this outstanding book, Harry Margalit explores how the history of Australian architecture is also the history of Australian society, and vice-versa.
