Their Sydney buildings are equally impressive, with the United Dental Hospital and the IBM Centre redefining the city's architecture. Stephenson & Turner also worked on several prominent projects as far afield as France, United States, New Zealand, Taiwan, Indonesia, Iraq and South Africa.
Australian Modern features drawings and photographs taken from the architectural collections of the State Library of Victoria. Complemented by essays that explore the ideas and innovations behind the firm's success, Australian Modern is an invaluable record of the modernisation of a nation through design.
