Edmond and Corrigan is an Australian architectural firm based in Melbourne, Victoria, founded in the late 1970s by partners Maggie Edmond and Peter Corrigan, who remain the firm's principals. The practice's work, both built and written, has been widely associated with the emergence of architectural postmodernism in Australia,〔Doug Evans, The Changing of the Guard: the social and cultural reflections of Community in 1970s Melbourne architecture, ''Fabrications'', Vol 15, No 1, July 2005, p39〕 an interest in suburbia 〔Conrad Hamann, ''Cities of hope: Australian architecture and design by Edmond and Corrigan, 1962-1992'', Oxford University Press, 1993〕 and a search for an Australian architectural identity.〔Norman Day, 'Doing it his way', ''The Age'', 1 September 2003.〕 Peter Corrigan has taught design studios at RMIT University for over 30 years. ==Architectural practice== The practice of Edmond and Corrigan was officially formed in 1975, though the pair had gradually been collaborating and associating on projects after Corrigan's return from America in 1974. Much of their early work consisted of church buildings and community buildings for the Catholic communities of suburban Melbourne. They designed the Keysborough Church of the Resurrection, completed in 1977, and later buildings in Keysborough.〔Hamann, ''Cities of Hope'', p51〕 The project was published in 1977.〔Evans, p41〕 The practice's subsequent projects, many of them in suburban sites, continued with the idea of an Australian architectural language, visible in their competition entries for the Parliament House, Canberra Competition in 1977, The Australian Stockman's Hall of Fame and the State Library of Victoria, their many projects for community buildings, and their work for universities. They later undertook larger projects; many of them, particularly RMIT Building 8, pursued the idea of 'a city in a single building'.〔Hamann, ''Cities of Hope'', p129〕 Their Athan House of 1986 was published widely. The practice also worked extensively in stage and set design for Opera Australia, Melbourne University Theatre Group, and La Mama. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Edmond and Corrigan」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
