Abstract

This paper draws in part from interviews being conducted by the author in a project entitled the Architects of the Middle Third 1 as part of a larger study re-examining the theory and ideology of Australian architects from the 30s to the 60s. To date twenty five interviews have been completed with New South Wales architects whose education and early practice took place during the 30s and 40s. The interviews cover both ordinary and celebrated architectural production throughout the middle third of the 20th century (hence the project's title) and illuminate the ideas that were finding favour, and those that were not, among these architects. Once completed, the results of the project are likely to reorientate the professional impact of and contemporaneous attitudes towards early modernism in Australia.
