Architecture and industry: the migrant contribution to nation-building

该项目旨在探索战后澳大利亚的建筑、农村和工业景观，这些景观是由流离失所者的劳动塑造的。第二次世界大战后的移民对现代澳大利亚的空间形成至关重要。推动战后国家建设计划的主要联邦政府资助的工业依赖于大量战争流离失所者的就业。虽然移民在文化方面对国家建设的贡献是众所周知的，但其日常空间、建筑和景观的变化仍未得到研究。该项目旨在将战后工业和移民带入前景，全面记录澳大利亚如何独特地塑造其建筑环境。

This project aims to explore the post-war architectural, rural and industrial landscapes of Australia as shaped by the labour of displaced persons. Migrants after the Second World War were critical to the spatial making of modern Australia. Major federally-funded industries driving post-war nation-building programs depended on the employment of large numbers of war-displaced persons. While the immigrant contribution to nation-building in cultural terms is well-known, its everyday spatial, architectural and landscape transformations remain unexamined. This project aims to bring to the foreground post-war industry and immigration to comprehensively document a how Australia has uniquely shaped its built environment.
