Davina Jackson explores how early colonial building designers like 

James Bloodworth, Francis Greenway and John Lee Archer interpreted 

classical European styles using local stone and timber. She examines how 

medieval and Renaissance monuments influenced leading architects 

during the 19^th century, until the fresh winds of modernism and demands 

for a unique Australian style took over in the 20^th century, with 

environmental challenges and technological innovations driving change in 

recent years.
