Kevin Borland - Architecture from the Heart

Kevin Borland (28 October 1926, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. 2000) was an influential Australian post-war Architect. His career saw works evolve from an International Modernist stance into a Regionalist aesthetic for which he became most recognized. Much of his significant works were composed of raw materials and considered ‘Brutalist’ typifying Borland’s renowned motto ‘architecture is not for the faint-hearted’. Borland died in 2000 leaving a legacy of work throughout Victoria, New South Wales and Tasmania. Was influenced by Dutch architect Aldo van Eyck.
