This hardcover edition invites you to journey through the evolution of Wilson Architects. From the earliest designs of our namesake, AB Wilson, to reflections from our most recent Directors, GENIUS LOCI is a must-read for architecture enthusiasts and Brisbane historians alike who value their place and are careful in how we place things in it.
Readers are invited to explore 264 pages of architectural drawings, archival images, cherished family photographs and personal diary entries. A comprehensive snapshot of the projects and people that have shaped the practice, Genius Loci also touches on the fire that ravaged the office in the eighties.
