Top Architecture Firms and Architects in Australia
The team at Topauarchitects tried to compile a list of the top architecture firms and architects in Australia. Australia, which has the eighth-largest immigrant population and the fourteenth-largest economy in the world, welcomes tremendous variety. With its significant variations in temperature and topography, this mega-diverse nation has a modern eclectic architectural style that draws heavily from its many different environments. As a former British colony, its historic structures influence European architecture. Following World War 2, Australia changed its demographics, culture, and self-perception by embracing multiculturalism.
Few old neighborhoods remain due to imported exotic designs and architectural styles, and elements and the appropriation of local resources and skillsets. In contrast, modern architecture has remained consistent with Western architectural trends while adapting to the unique Australian climate and cultural factors. The Federation architectural style of the 20th century sparked the desire to create “their style” with an avant-garde approach, inspiring building that was amiable and expressive of Australia.
Australia features iconic examples of most Western architectural styles, including Georgian, Gothic, Victorian, Baroque, Romanesque, and Art Deco, as well as Brutalism, Structuralism, Postmodernism, and Deconstructivism. Famous Australian architects are leaning toward a future of sustainability and green architecture, including the best technology currently accessible globally.
