Title: G. W. Pestorius
Description: The first monograph on Brisbane architect Geoff Pestorius (1930-1968). It focuses the Sweeney house (1966) in the inner-Brisbane suburb of Hamilton, although several other projects are also featured, including his Mt Tamborine House (1965) for the same client. Also included is documentation of the exhibition "50: Drewe & Pestorius’ Sweeney House" curated by Andrew Wilson. It also features a genealogy that sheds light on the architect’s family origins in Germany, as well as a comprehensive listing and bibliographic entries relating to exhibitions and events held at the Sweeney House since 1999, when it became a house for exhibiting contemporary art from Brisbane, from Australia and from around the world." -- Publisher's description.
