The work of Stephenson & Turner, whose designs signify the vanguard of Australian modernism and represent the most up-to-date research into building designs for health, commerce, and
industry, is examined in this pictorial overview. Landmark buildings such as St. Vincent's Hospital in Melbourne, the IBM Center in Sydney, and several prominent projects in South Africa, the
United States, and New Zealand showcase the firm's expertise and quality of their designs. Featuring drawings and photographs taken from the architectural collection of the State Library of
Victoria and complemented by essays that explore the ideas and innovations behind the firm's success, this book is an invaluable record of the modernization of a nation through design.
