Description 458 pages : illustrations (some colour), portraits, maps, plans ; 31 cm Summary Walter Burley Griffin, when he wrote about his conception of the proposed Roman Catholic College on Christmas Day, 1915, emphasised the users' experience of facilities and functions of the new building. As an artist, he did not write about its form, but instead embedded his ideas in its plan, characterisation and appearance. Accordingly, this book is in two Parts. An exhaustive description of functions, facilities and construction process comprises Part 1: Specific. The building's form was read to explore Griffin's ideas and design method in Part 2: Form Analysis Australian Notes "This new manuscript is developed from two volumes submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy, October 2004, amended May 2005, revised October-December 2014, and April 2017, Faculty of Architecture, Building & Planning, University of Melbourne."--Page [2] National Library of Australia's NL copy signed by the author.
