Abstract

IN THIS REPORT, THE ENVIRONMENTAL DESIGN DETERMINANTS OF DARWIN, AND THE ARCHITECTURAL FORMS WHICH HAVE EVOLVED WITHIN THESE DETERMINANTS, HAVE BEEN OUTLINED. THE STRUCTURAL AND SOCIAL DETERMINANTS WHICH EMERGED AS A DIRECT RESULT OF THE DEVASTATION INCURRED BY CYCLONE TRACY, ARE SUMMARIZED. THESE DETERMINANTS ARE THEN ANALYSED COLLECTIVELY TO REVEAL THEIR CONTRIBUTION TO AN UNPRECEDENTED DOMESTIC ARCHITECTURE, DISTINTIVE IN THE DARWIN CONTEXT. THE RESULTANT HOUSING FABRIC IS ANALYSED IN TERMS OF ITS MEANING TO THE OCCUPANT, ITS STRUCTURAL SUCCESS AND ITS IMPACT UPON THE RESIDENTIAL SETTING NOW AND IN THE FUTURE. -
