The Poisoned Chalice

Coffee Table Book and website

I was very privileged to be asked by friend Anne Watson to design the book resulting from her many years of research and dedication to telling the story of the role of architect Peter Hall in the completion of the Sydney Opera House.

…narrating the fraught circumstances behind the completion of the Sydney Opera House by Australian architect Peter Hall and the newly formed consortium Hall, Todd, & Littlemore is just what architectural and design writer Anne Watson has accomplished, warts and all. The outgrowth of a PhD thesis, as she readily acknowledges, this book results from forensic scholarship and is handsomely produced.

It was a pleasure to work with  Red Egg Design on my recent book The Poisoned Chalice: Peter Hall and the Sydney Opera House. Clive’s layout and design concepts were clever, well-considered and visually engaging, and have been integral to the success of the book.
