Robin Boyd A Life
Biography & Memoir Australiana Architecture & Interior Design
Robin Boyd: A Life by Geoffrey Serle is the essential biography of Australia’s most influential modern architect, tracing his rise from 1950s Melbourne to international acclaim. This 1996 illustrated paperback from Melbourne University Press captures Boyd’s vision of affordable, distinctly Australian design and his battles for planning reform.
Geoffrey Serle, one of the nation’s leading historians, blends crisp narrative with over 100 photographs, plans and sketches that let readers follow Boyd’s most celebrated houses and cultural critiques. The result is a vivid portrait of post-war Australia as much as of the man himself, perfect for lovers of architecture, design and local history.
The vintage 367-page copy is in very good shape: tight binding, clean pages, no dog-ears, from a smoke-free home. A neat ink inscription appears on the front inner cover; page 326 shows a minor scuff, otherwise unmarked. Dust jacket present, no ex-library stamps or other writing.
Collectors and students alike prize this first edition biography for its authority and readability. Secure this gently used, illustrated life of Robin Boyd and add a cornerstone of Australian architectural literature to your shelf.
