4.0 out of 5 stars Pocket sized architecture, March 6, 2001

This review is from: Architecture Guides: Sydney (Architectural Guides) (Paperback)

This is a small, pocket sized booklet detailing more than 100 buildings and urban projects completed since 1985.

It is not confined to the harbour sized precincts, which is the more usual focus of more tourist-oriented books. It includes, for example, a library building in the western suburbs University of Western Sydney, and the Joan Sutherland performing Arts Centre in Parramatta. It covers both public and private buildings, large scale and small - and some private domestic architecture and restaurants.

This would be a handy guide for anyone with a serious interest in the city's architecture and redevelopment. However, the print is small. There is a smallish black and white photograph of each project as well. Some are a little too small to fully appreciate the work. That is my only criticism of the book, which otherwise is authoritative as well as accessible to the general reader.
