The Robin Boyd Foundation has launched a ‘Plus1’ fundraising initiative with Creative Partnerships Australia to mark the release of the book ‘After The Australian Ugliness’ as well as to support design advocacy in Australia.
Every donation made to Robin Boyd Foundation’s ‘Amplify Our Voice’ campaign, which runs 6 May - 6 June 2021, will be matched dollar for dollar by Creative Partnerships Australia, and the funds raised will be used to enable new advocacy projects that amplify the voice of architecture and good design in Australia.
‘After The Australian Ugliness’ is a provocative collection of essays that explores how Australia sees itself 60 years since the publication of Robin Boyd’s seminal title ‘The Australian Ugliness’. As an architect and a public educator, Robin Boyd (1919 –1971) encouraged people to extend their thinking and expectations beyond ‘the known’ and ‘the given’.
