Australian Building: A Cultural Investigation

The construction of the Treasury Building, Melbourne, 1858.  Photograph by Barnett Johnstone.  State Library of Victoria H27165 [cropped].

This is a history of Australian building with an emphasis upon the development and spread of ideas and practices, and upon the tension between the European tradition and local conditions.  It is a work in progress: some parts are fully developed, or have been published, whilst others are merely sketched in. Comments, contributions, and especially illustrations, will be gratefully received.
