Craft within public architecture

In this issue of ca enews Craft Australia considers the role that craft has played in public architecture. We explore what makes a successful collaboration between craft practitioners and architects and look at the cultural and economic benefits of broadening craft practice into public art. Romaldo Giurgola has argued that in representing Australia, 'art, architecture, and craftsmanship should be intentional, supporting and stimulating elements'.
