Title Sean Godsell
Author Description Essay by Leon Van Schaik
Uri
Web Author Description Leon van Schaik is a professor of Architecture at RMIT in Melbourne. In 2000, he was the curator of the Australian pavilion at the VII Biennale di Architettura in Venice.
webLongDescription At the age of 44, Sean Godsell (b.1960) is one of Australia's leading young architects and is beginning to attract an international following for his spare industrial forms and innovative use of materials. Trained at the University of Melbourne, Godsell travelled through Europe and Asia in the early and mid 1980s and then spent 1986-1988 working in London with Sir Denys Lasdun. He subsequently returned to Melbourne to work for the Hassell Group and then opened his own firm in 1994. Godsell has built a reputation outside of his native Australia for his houses - from the couture to the assembly line. His elegant Carter Tucker House is a glass box sheathed in panels of slender cedar battens, while his prototype FutureShack is a prefabricated emergency relief housing unit made of recycling shipping containers. This volume documents all 23 of Godsell's projects to date, including built works as well as competition entries for larger scale building; it is the first book to provide an overview of this innovative architect's career.
