Dr. Harry Margalit explores the themes of a variety of twentieth century Sydney houses and discusses the cultural and intellectual environments in which they were built. Two houses from the first half of the twentieth century, Eryldene and Fountains, exhibit a revival of the Georgian Style of architecture. Dr. Margalit demonstrates how this eclectic style is combined with Modernist influences, post World War II, in Sydney. You will also be walked through houses, designed by Sydney Ancher, Harry Seidler, Peter Muller and Neville Gruzman in an exploration of Modernist and anti-Modernist architecture, technology, nature and the Australian context..
