AUSTRALIAN ARCHITECTURE | THAMES & HUDSON | ARCHITECTURE FORTHCOMING

Tzannes is an internationally acclaimed Sydney-based architectural and urban design studio. With a reputation for innovation, collaboration and ethical practice, it has shaped the way we live and work in the city. From founder Alec Tzannes' radical reworking of the traditional terrace house forty years ago to more recent street furniture and globally pioneering work in timber architecture, the practice's influence is evident in Australia and beyond. Tzannes: Adaptive Urban Architecture and Design showcases over fifty housing, commercial, cultural and institutional projects, accompanied by research essays that critically interpret the work of one of Australia's leading design firms. Together, they form an insightful examination of a practice committed to urban architecture responsive to the built, natural and First Nations environments.
