Duration: 00:46:00

In this exploration of the history of the Veranda, Philip Drew traces its etymological and built development. He discusses the Arab origins as well as that from Britain through its colonialism. The depth is left to the study of Australian development from first settlement, through to Murcutt’s transformation of it into the veranda house.

Philip draws this history into what he describes as Australia’s veranda culture and raises the challenge to architects as to how they can respond to the changing climatic outcomes as a result of global warming.
