Tom Kovac

by Charles Jencks (Editor), Leon van Schaik (Editor), Aaron Betsky (Editor)

Tom Kovac is an Australian architect whose star is rising quickly. His fresh, dynamic work denies the architecture of planes and right angles -- there are few straight lines in his designs -- and injects the program into an obsession with pure form. His fluid spaces are emotionally charged and have recently been published extensively around the world. Projects in this first monograph on the architect's work include a variety of retail, commercial and residential designs, all in Australia.
