Description

This Building Likes Me offers an engaging account of the recent work of one of Australia's most significant architectural practices, John Wardle Architects (JWA). The practice is fascinated by those who experience their buildings and spaces - by those who live or work in them, or simply walk past. These are the people the buildings like! This monograph captures the practice's commitment to people, cities and places; the collaborations with makers, builders and artists and the continual; and their continual inventive exploration of scale, site, landscape and narratives of memory.
