Description
A Skilled Hand and Cultivated Mind: A Guide to the Architecture and Art of RMIT University records the importance of art and architecture in the University's history, as well as charting some of the changes in Australian art and architecture over the last 125 years. Starting with the Francis Ormond building, the University's first home, the book tours the campuses. This second edition incorporates the new Design Hub and the Swanston Academic Building. This is not a book designed to sit on a bookshelf or coffee table. It is a guide to your explorations of RMIT, to help you understand the history and significance of the buildings and the artworks that have been part of the lives of many students and staff, and to encourage you to dig deeper to discover hidden treasures.
