New South Australian Architecture

Architectural photography plays an important role as a visual record of our constantly evolving built environment. For architects it is one of the final parts of the process: the expression of our design work through someone else’s creative viewpoint. Architectural photographers each bring their own sense of self to their work. Peter Barnes’ photographs have a visual strength and an energy that is characteristically his own. The sense of detail and care within his photography evokes for me the same considered approach we architects take in realising our built outcomes. Seeing our work through his lens is a delight.‘ - Wayne Grivell, Director, Swanbury Penglase

'Some projects in this book are quiet contributors to the urban realm. Others make a statement. Some will be familiar. Others will be newly discovered treasures. I hope that this beautiful celebration of key architecture in this state stimulates you to look afresh at the spaces you occupy and to better value the good design around us. You will gain a new appreciation of the great places and buildings in South Australia.’ - Nicolette Di Lernia, Australian Institute of Architects
