Architecture is public art. We all have to live with the appearance of a building for a long time. So architects carry a responsibility for the character of our cities. Through buildings they create community. Increasingly in our time the wealth which builds our cities is in private rather than public hands. So who is looking after the public good, and where does that leave the architect?
We canvass the opinions of a range of architects around Australia, including Glenn Murcutt, Harry Seidler and Phillip Cox.
