In the Realm of Learning: The University of Sydney's New Law School - Tapa dura

The design for the University of Sydney's New Law School was the result of an international architectural competition held in 2003 that included acclaimed architects from Europe and Australia. The competition was won by fjmt (Francis-Jones Morehen Thorp), one of Australia's leading and highly awarded architectural practices. This book documents the architectural competition, design and realisation of this remarkable landmark building and open-space complex. Architects' concept sketches, renderings, plans and photographs combine to elucidate the architectural process behind the development of the New Law School building.
