What makes a good school great? A good community of practice great? For close to half-a-century, architect and educator Leon van Schaik has prosecuted an answer to these questions. It is a venture that would lead him from the Architectural Association in London, to the townships of apartheid South Africa, and finally to Australia and the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology (RMIT), where he initiated its now globally-renowned practice-based architecture research program.In Building a Culture, van Schaik traces the origin and development of design practice research at RMIT and his own journey into architecture and its teaching. From his early university studies under artist Richard Hamilton, to his experiences with Alvin Boyarsky at the Architectural Association, and his work alongside Cyril Ramaphosa at the Urban Foundation in South Africa, van Schaik imparts learnings garnered from a lifetime spent studying and cultivating successful creative ecologies.Through anecdotes and a consideration of archival material, the author draws a ‘loose-fit’ roadmap to implementing cultural change in educational organisations, detailing most especially the challenges he encountered developing RMIT’s unique pedagogical culture and its innovative practice-based research program.Based on a 2018 lecture van Schaik gave at RMIT on the occasion of his appointment to Emeritus Professor, Building a Culture is an insider’s account of how organisational transformation was effected within this renowned architectural school. It is also a lively and at times humorous personal reflection on the people, ideas and experiences that have shaped the thinking of one of Australia’s most influential educators.

This monograph documents the work of the Australian architect Sean Godsell. Godsell was born in 1960 in Melbourne, where he took a degree in architecture at the University of Melbourne in 1984. The following year he traveled in Japan and Europe; then, until 1988, he worked in the studio of Denys Lasdun in London. Having returned to Australia, in 1994 he founded the studio Godsell Associates Pty Ltd Architects in Melbourne. Starting in 1994 he was a tutor at the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology, where he took a Master's degree in Architecture in 1999. In recent years he has received many international prizes and honors. The central focus of Godsell's research is the theme of residence, approached through study of Japanese traditions and constant investigation of the questions of paths, materials and light. The fascinating nature of Australia, the age-old trees, sand dunes and luminous colors form the backdrop for the work of this young architect. The materials utilized in his buildings -such as wood, first of all- reflect these characteristics, conveying a sense of wild but composed natural vigor. Starting with the houses built in the early 1990s, such as Gandolfo House (1993-94) and MacSween House (1995), the monograph continues with certain residential works that have received many prizes, like Kew House (1996-97), Carter/Tucker House (1998-2000) and Peninsula House (2000-02).
