2016
Book
THE POOL is the companion publication for the Australia's highly anticipated contribution to the Biennale Architettura 2016, curated by Aileen Sage Architects (Isabelle Toland and Amelia Holliday) with Michelle Tabet. Designed to offer a richer experience of the exhibition, the book explores the relationship between architecture and Australian cultural identity through personal anecdotes about one of our country's most significant public spaces. Eight prominent Australians have shared their pool stories, Olympians Ian Thorpe and Shane Gould, authors Anna Funder and Christos Tsiolkas; Indigenous art curator Hetti Perkins; environmentalist Tim Flannery; fashion designers Romance was Born, and musician Paul Kelly.
