Concrete Poetry: Concrete Architecture in Australia
This book "celebrates all the power, grace and poetry of concrete as a material in architecture. In particular, it is a journey through some of Australia's most inspiring architecture from the mid-1950s to the present, from the drawing boards of talented Australian architects who have sought to make a difference. This book is illustrated with photographs by Max Dupain, David Moore, John Gollings and other Australian photographers who have elevated the art of architectural photography."
