Grounds, Romberg & Boyd : Melbourne's midcentury modernists
Grounds, Romberg and Boyd (1953-1962) was one of the most innovative modernist architectural firms ever to practice in Australia. Led by Roy Grounds, Frederick Romberg and Robin Boyd, it would have a role in shaping many enduringly iconic and significant buildings.
This book is a richly illustrated exploration of the architectural legacy of the practice, including correspondence, reproductions of ephemera from the period, and drawings and photographs of their most iconic buildings.
Grounds, Romberg & Boyd is the only book ever published on the work of the famous Australian practice. It is also unusual in that its focus isn’t squarely on the familiar, finished buildings, but the relationship between the three directors and the goings-on behind the scenes.
The book gives a rare glimpse into the inner workings of a high profile architecture firm and how it functions—or doesn’t.
