Présentation de l'éditeur :
At
the age of 44, Sean Godsell (b.1960) is one of Australia`s leading
young architects and is beginning to attract an international following
for his spare industrial forms and innovative use of materials. Trained
at the University of Melbourne, Godsell travelled through Europe and
Asia in the early and mid 1980s and then spent 1986-1988 working in
London with Sir Denys Lasdun. He subsequently returned to Melbourne to
work for the Hassell Group and then opened his own firm in 1994.
Godsell has built a reputation outside of his native Australia for his
houses - from the couture to the assembly line. His elegant Carter
Tucker House is a glass box sheathed in panels of slender cedar
battens, while his prototype FutureShack is a prefabricated emergency
relief housing unit made of recycling shipping containers. This volume
documents all 23 of Godsell`s projects to date, including built works
as well as competition entries for larger scale building; it is the
first book to provide an overview of this innovative architect`s career.
