Australia's Home: Its Origins, Builders and Occupiers
Editorial Reviews
Melbourne Report
'a book which should be on the shelves of everyone interested in our social history and a ready reference for those concerned with recreating our past'
Book Description
'Since its first publication by Melbourne University Press Australia's Home has been in constant demand... people read it for pure pleasure as an eventful illuminating story. Householders read it to see their house and streetscapes afresh through Boyd's eyes, their own vision both criticized and enriched by his. Architects and planners read it to agonize with Boyd over built forms and townscapes . . . But the book is most remarkable of all as history, a great bit of poaching by an architect-journalist who never claimed to write history at all.' Hugh Stretton
