Introduction by Rick Joy

Peter Stutchbury is one of Australia’s most awarded and most influential architects. His expressive and environmentally responsible designs point to the new architectural direction of the 21st century, as our built world adapts to the need for sustainability and to a need for reconciliation with the environment.

This monograph features Peter Stutchbury’s most significant projects, including his delightful harbourside houses in Sydney, the Archery Pavilion for the Sydney Olympic Games, the Birabahn Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Centre, and the Deepwater Woolshed. Each of these projects demonstrate Stutchbury’s profound knowledge of construction, materials, site and context, as well as his fundamentally intuitive architectural skills.

The buildings are presented chronologically, providing a graphic depiction
of the architect’s evolution. Each project is documented with formal drawings, concept sketches and project descriptions, and illustrated by colour and duotone photographs.

An essay by Patrick Bingham-Hall places Peter Stutchbury’s architecture in the historical and geographical context of the Sydney region. It provides a thoughtful assessment of the architect’s engagement with the landscape, and observes how his vision of an ideal architecture has set the course for much that should follow. The monograph is affectionately introduced by the American architect, Rick Joy.
