‘This Building Likes Me’ offers an engaging account of the recent work of one of Australia’s most significant architectural practices, John Wardle Architects (JWA). JWA’s work is driven by those who experience their buildings and spaces – the people who live or work in them, or those who simply walk past. These are the people the buildings like!

This monograph captures the practice’s commitment to people, cities and places – the collaborations with makers, builders and artists – and their continual inventive exploration of scale, site, landscape and narratives of memory.

‘This Building Likes Me’ is a companion to JWA’s first book, ‘Volume’, published by Thames & Hudson. Thirty-six recent buildings and projects are comprehensively presented in pairs, through photographs, drawings and images of JWA’s distinctive models. These are complemented by a multitude of short critical essays and by intriguing accounts and images of life within the practice. The result is a compelling insight into contemporary architectural processes, preoccupations and projects.

‘This Building Likes Me’ is a must-have monograph for built environment professionals, academics and the interested public.
