Named "a genius if there ever was one", Czech refugee Alex Jelinek created Australia' s 1957 House of the Year in the uniquely modern city of Canberra. This is the story of how Canberra' s ' Round House' came to be designed, built, and lived in - alongside the stories of the people who turned it into the home it is today. The cultural intensity of the Benjamin family' s lives in the 1960s and 1970s is brought vividly to life by the author, who in 1999 bought back the house and undertook its restoration. Lovers of mid-century modern design will revel in this first-hand account of a childhood spent in the crucible of 60s culture.
Roger Benjamin is Professor of Art History at the University of Sydney, passionate about his family' s history and that of the home he grew up in.
