This volume offers a celebration of the life and work of one of Australia’s most inventive and unfettered architectural talents. Gabriel Poole’s (1934–2020) career began in the 1960s and spanned over half a century. While his work resonated with the cultural, environmental, and creative concerns of the time, his lightweight, adaptive, and open approach to material use and structural innovation remains highly contemporary and relevant to architectural practice today. Presented is a selection of his most innovative houses, both timely and timeless, embracing permeability and adapting form to climate needs. The foreword by Glenn Murcutt pays tribute to Poole’s remarkable body of work.
