Floor Talk: The Studio of Iwan Iwanoff with Warren Andersen

This floor talk is a comprehensive review of the art and architecture of architect Iwan Iwanoff in Western Australia, featuring works from 1950 to 1986 demonstrating the evolution and characteristics of Iwan’s design approach, and to place his architectural approach into context in Australia and internationally.
