Abstract

Using photographic images from South East Queensland mid-twentieth-century architecture, this essay investigates the translation and regeneration of modern themes into a local idiom that resonates with poetic qualities of pre-existent forms of inhabitation. It contributes to the discussion of the photograph's role in communicating meaning in architecture through its potential to "reveal" the idiomatic.
