Paul Couch has long been an elusive figure in Australian architecture. For over six decades he has busied himself creating substantial works, rarely stopping to document his achiev ements, nor to speak of them in public. As a result, his built works have gone largely unrecognized. 'Paul Couch, Field Studies' seeks to redress this, introducing readers, for the first time in print, to one of Australia’s most significant and enduring architects. The book focuses on four major residential projects spanning the breadth of Couch’s career, from his own family home in 1975, to the Kew House completed in 2019. Each of the four projects is represented by Couch’s original hand drawings, a written essay and a photo essay. Show more
