Macarena de la Vega de León, University of Melbourne, and
Brett Tippey, Kent State University, co-chairs of the SAH 2020 Virtual Conference session "Opposite/Apposite: Exchanges between Australasia and Ibero-America," are pleased to announce that papers from the session have been developed and published in a special issue of
Fabrications: The Journal of the Society of Architectural Historians, Australia and New Zealand.
"Thanks to the fruitful discussion that followed the conference session and the cross-pollination of ideas and information between the authors, the articles have been expanded and enriched, forming a robust collection of interconnected narratives," De la Vega de León and Tippey say in their introduction to the issue.
The issue contains four papers original from the SAHANZ session:
"Travelling Abroad to Understand Australia: Glenn Murcutt’s Look at the Architecture of José Antonio Coderch" by Emma López-Bahut
"Learning from the Opposite? Iberian Journals Glance at Australia" by Ana Esteban-Maluenda and Rute Figueiredo
"New World: Harry Seidler, Brazil and the Australian City" by Philip Goad
"Layered Landscapes: Links between Brazil and Australia after the Second World War" by Andrew Saniga
