Design city Melbourne

Design city Melbourne by Leon van Schaik, published by Wiley-Academy in 2006.

Melbourne is now coming to the fore as a design hotspot. With three and a half million inhabitants, it is on a scale that is livable and diverse. Its rich and varied cultural intimacy has enabled it to build up a unique dynamism, which is set to shift the entire design agenda of the world - much like Barcelona did in the 1980s and Antwerp did in the 1990s. Melbourne is to be the city of the noughties. The intense plurality of Melbourne's recent design culture is due to have a vast impact on the way in which we think about city regions and living in them.

A lovely addition to your coffee table or bookshelf, and a thoughtful gift for anyone who loves home and interior design.
