Shifting views : selected essays on the architectural history of Australia and New Zealand / edited by Andrew Leach, Antony Moulis & Nicole Sully.

"This book brings together a range of essays (20-25) written between 1984 and the mid 2000s that together document the rise of a regional discourse in architectural history. It draws on essays published in the proceedings of the annual conferences of the Society of Architectural Historians, Australia and New Zealand (SAHANZ), which describe the development of the architectural history community from its first emergence in the mid-1980s to its broad-based concerns and composition of the present."--Provided by publisher.

"Shifting Views draws together a selection of writing from across twenty-five years of these conferences to provide a fascinating view into the region's architectural history discipline. The essays collected here, from such diverse thinkers as Judith Brine, Joan Kerr, Miles Lewis, Sarah Treadwell, Philip Goad, Julie Willis and Mike Austin, reflect some of the most illuminating debates from these conferences. Together these essays capture a tone of critical inquiry and the conditions of writing architectural history in Australia and New Zealand." "Shifting Views takes us into the mechanics of architectural history-making, exposing its foundations and demonstrating how they can be called to account. It shows us how architectural history has been made and revised, giving us a glimpse of the means why which our past becomes our history."--BOOK JACKET.
