| biography:
| Architect, born in Sydney, New South Wales, SE Australia. He studied at the University of Sydney, began designing mainly institutional and domestic buildings, and in the 1980s entered the commercial world with well-known structures such as the Yulara Tourist Resort, Ayers Rock (1983), the Sydney Football Stadium (1988), and the National Maritime Museum, Darling Harbour, Sydney (1990). These buildings exploit the tensile properties of steel cables and clean white surfaces to dramatic effect. He has a strong interest in regional history, and is author of The Australian Homestead (1972) and Australian Colonial Architecture (1978). He has been professor of architecture at the University of New South Wales since 1989. |
