-
This book emerged from a lecture by Emeritus Professor Leon van Schaik, on more than thirty years of pioneering work at RMIT University. The book reflects the dual purposes of the lecturer: part essay on architectural education, part biographical slideshow in a darkened room, tracing his youth in Apartheid South Africa, via London and then to Melbourne. The book materially echoes a previous book for van Schaik: they share a size, binding and paper; each is jacketed, but in different materials. Both balance a typographic and compositional tension between the essayistic and the conversational, appearing as a loose pair.
