Book review

摘要

More than five years in the making, The Encyclopedia of Australian Architecture is the most ambitious work of its kind ever completed in Australia, bringing together more than 225 architectural writers, critics, academics and historians, with over 1,000 indexed entries, and 500 photographs and drawings.rnThis mighty volume begins with an introductory 'Rationale and Structure', which clearly positions the work: the encyclopedia is not a history, nor a 'technical handbook or dictionary', but a collection of entries on various subj ects linked only by their location in, or direct relationship with, Australia.
