About This Item
A H & A W Reed Sydney 1967 . Fine 28.0 x 27.0cms, 84pp, b/w & tipped in colour illusts, very good hardback with chipped dustwrapper (with 2 birds-eye-view photographic prints of Sydney's CBD before the Opera House) When Curtis documented the building of the Opera House, he stressed 'the humanistic values which permeate the thinking behind this building; the very conscious and intense concern of the architect with the requirements of an anonymous client...the imaginative consideration given to the relationships of space and form...the constant concern with values, standards & quality; the three dimensional expression of a precise & methodical mind as exemplified in the exacting geometry associated with the whole project, together with the creative use made of structural systems'.
