Well, on Monday, I promised that today I would turn to the work of Maggie Edmond and the late Peter Corrigan, two Australian architects who Daniel Libeskind described as committed to “…a deepening cultural program. Not Edenic…free of the stifling Wednesday routine and the permanent 31st of the month.”
But alas, I ran out of steam this week. I just wrapped up Low Rise LA, a fantastic competition sponsored by the Mayor's Fund for Los Angeles and organized by Christopher Hawthorne, Chief Design Officer, City of Los Angeles.
I am also quickly realizing that my hopes of keeping up with the excellent daily Substack, Letters from an American, by Heather Cox Richardson might be a bit unrealistic. I was hoping to post twice a week… the best-laid plans...
So, I will try for two to four posts every month.
In the meantime, please enjoy these remarkable photographs of Edmond and Corrigan's recent and older works by the acclaimed Australian photographer John Gollings and another treat: an installation photograph of Cities of Hope, an exhibition of their life-work, curated by Vanessa Gerrans at RMIT Gallery in 2013.
The show featured drawings and models, stage and set designs. Artworks by Australian artists Roger Kemp, Philip Hunter, and Rick Amor were hung on the walls, including a tremendous painting by the late Howard Arkley, Family Home, below.
