Seller's Description:
New. 1876991321. *** FREE UPGRADE to Courier/Priority Shipping Upon Request ***-*** IN STOCK AND IMMEDIATELY AVAILABLE FOR SHIPMENT-Flawless copy, brand new, pristine, never opened--112 pages; 126 illustrations, half in color. Description: "Constructed in 1855, the buildings of the Royal Mint, Sydney, were some of the most innovative and technologically advanced structures in the English colony. By the mid 20th century the Mint had closed and the buildings were listed for demolition. However, they were to survive into the 21st century when the Historic Houses Trust of New South Wales, recognising their historic significance, began the Mint project. In a bold conservation and adaptation program, the 19th-century industrial coining factory buildings were transformed into a 21st century corporate office. Described as a combination of revitalised history, contemporary design, intriguing interiors and inspired urban sequences, the Mint project has received many major architectural, conservation and design awards. This richly illustrated publication traces the evolution of the project-from historical analysis of the site, development of the architectural brief and selection of architects through to design and realization-with a series of essays written by those directly involved in the project."--with a bonus offer--
