Better together: 33 documents of contemporary Australian architecture and their associated short stories

Architectural production today encompasses myriad documents that defy the traditional conventions of the profession. This book examines 33 artefacts involved in the design and construction of contemporary architecture. Its definition of architectural documents is expansive – not just working drawings, but correspondence, contracts, mock-ups and models, journalism, photos, and other formats that address the unique processes of modern architectural production.

With a cross-section of work by Australian architects, including Andrew Power, Studio Bright, Sibling Architecture, Richard Stampton, and others, presented in a short story format to unravel the artefacts’ inner lives.
