Australian architecture online - atmitchell.com

摘要

Architects and architectural firms have long had a major role in shaping the growth of Australia's built environment and skyline. Upholding design standards to reflect quality environments - naturally, socially and economically - architects have helped to tell a story of Australia, its heritage and cultural development. That story is now coming online to the world as part of an initiative by the Mitchell Library to bring its quintessentially Australian treasures to the internet like never before. More than any other place the Mitchell Library holds the documentary record of the discovery of Australia and the Pacific. The Mitchell is internationally renowned for its multi-billion dollar collection of more than five million items including maps, pictures, manuscripts, photographs, artworks, architectural plans and, of course, books.
