God in Reverse: Art, Architecture & Consciousness by Australian artist-architect Richard Goodwin – a signed copy of this substantial monograph.
Richard Goodwin is one of Australia's most distinctive practitioners working between sculpture, performance and architecture, known for his ideas of 'parasite' architecture and porosity in the city. God in Reverse gathers decades of his projects, drawings and writing, exploring how art and built form can shape – and be shaped by – consciousness.
Richly illustrated throughout. This copy is signed by the author.
Across the book Goodwin documents a career that has consistently blurred the line between art and architecture – from his 'Porosity' studies of how public and private space interpenetrate in the city, to his 'parasite' structures that attach new forms to existing buildings, to large-scale public sculpture and performance works. Photographs, drawings, models and essays trace how these ideas developed and how they connect to his broader questions about the body, the city and consciousness.
The title reflects the book's central idea: that meaning in architecture and art is not handed down from above but built up from human experience, perception and the spaces we inhabit. It is a substantial, beautifully produced monograph, and signed copies are not commonly offered.
Richard Goodwin is a Sydney-based artist and architect whose work has been exhibited widely in Australia and internationally. He has taught for many years at the University of New South Wales and is one of the country's best-known practitioners working between sculpture and building.
Ideal for: collectors of Australian art and architecture books, architects and design students, and readers interested in art, space and consciousness.
