Description
Grounds, Romberg and Boyd (1953–1962) was among the most innovative modernist architectural firms ever to practice in Australia. Led by Roy Grounds, Frederick Romberg, and Robin Boyd, it had a role in shaping many enduringly iconic and significant buildings. After less than a decade, however, this tripartite powerhouse imploded, overburdened by the weight of strident personalities and striving individual ambitions. This is the only book ever published on the work of the practice, unusual in that it focuses not only on the finished buildings but also the relationship between the three directors, giving a rare glimpse into the inner workings of a high-profile architecture firm.
