Habitus Issue 20

habitus issue 20

Habitus 20 finds inspiring people from all walks of life. From radio funny many, Tim ‘Rosso’ Ross, to Melbourne University’s Professor of Architecture, Philip Goad, Habitus 20 discovers that a passion for good design and architecture can be found in the most unlikely places and people. We also visit the Sri Lankan city of Galle to find two Australian architects have achieved one unique vision, that Filipino artist Olivia D’Aboville has reinvented old tapestry textiles in new and innovative ways, and that a small New Zealand apartment can be the perfect multi-generational family home.

And from rugs, to heating and coffee machines, we find that the best new pieces for your home come from just around the corner, again proving that the Region really does have the best there is to offer.

Profile: Olivia d’Aboville

From plastic spoons to pins and water bottles, Olivia D’Aboville’s artworks (featured in Habitus 20, on sale June 26) are an array of re-used mass-produced objects that could easily be mistaken for piles of oceanic debris. But upon closer inspection, her artworks are extremely delicate, even fragile, and tie into a sensitivity that is something much more than just good recycling practice. By Philippa Daly.

Amazing Galle

Site of the intriguing Galle House project featured in Habitus 20 (on sale June 26), the southern Sri Lankan 17th century Dutch Fort town of Galle layers culture, history and heritage architecture throughout its beguilingly narrow, cobbled streets, beckoning and mesmerising the visitor.
