ARCHITECTURE
“Australian Cottages, More than a hut or a shack…, but not sufficient in stature for description as a house, cottages are often victims of their own quintessential pragmatism. Many have been lost due to the decay of their rude components, or gradually improved and renovated with little consideration for their original form and detail. Some are still occupied as testimony to their versatility, and the image of the detached cottage in its private garden setting dominates our national life style to a remarkable degree.”
Central to the book is an important conservation message: developing a perspective of respectful change which is adaptable to the practical necessities of contemporary cottage life. The importance of building fabrics are examined and practical advice on adaptation and additions is also offered.” pp. 127 illusts #0620/0121/110122/110922/200123/070124 First Edition.
