Description

Experience a visual journey through the mid-twentieth-century evolution of Sydney. Leisure Space explores how Sydneysiders embraced a new era of relaxation and social life between 1945 and 1970. This book captures the essence of a city in transition, where modernism changed the way people interacted with their environment. Through a collection of stunning photography, the book examines the architecture, interior design, and outdoor spaces built for public enjoyment. You can revisit iconic locations like the revolving Summit restaurant at Australia's Square, the Kings Cross Chevron-Hilton, and the Skyline drive-in. From the landmark Qantas House to the Wentworth Hotel, these pages document the dramatic impact of modern design on the urban landscape. Featuring celebrated imagery from photographers Max Dupain, David Moore, and David Mist, this volume serves as a historical record of Sydney's dynamic transformation. It is an essential resource for anyone interested in Australian architecture, urban history, and the cultural shifts that defined the post-war period.
