Perhaps the most engaging aspect of this portrait is the use of multiple voices to tell the story. This seems wise. Slightly larger than life, with great presence and firm views on design, politics and society, Kevin Borland’s character might challenge the skills of any one author. Through the essays by Daryl Jackson, Conrad Hamann, Peter McIntyre, Norman Day and several members of Borland’s family, the reader gradually accumulates a rich tapestry of anecdotes, adventurous projects, affectionate memories and striking remarks, which round out the picture of an architect at work as teacher, critic, and committed practitioner. Without this book, the work and life of a significant Melbourne architect might have been lost to later generations. This award also recognises the support of RMIT in the monograph series, an important publishing initiative which deserves to continue."  EXHIBITION OUT FROM UNDER: Australian Architecture Now AIA, SF Chapter, San Francisco, USA 8 March to 25 April 2007 Curator: Anthony Burke, UTS Supported by the RAIA International Committee Young Australian architects are establishing unique new trajectories in design that combine innovative material and spatial research with high quality building. At the core of this new generation of Australian designers is the emergence of an urban sensibility and an evolution beyond the rural mythology of past generations, while maintaining a strong relationship to the outdoors. OUT FROM UNDER: Australian Architecture Now highlights this vibrant design culture and showcases the responses young Australian practices are applying to a new and innovative range of materials and practices. After a successful first show at the American Institute of Architects SF Chapter headquarters, the show has moved on to Seattle and now Hong Kong with the support of the RAIA international committee. Plans are to move the show next to Beijing, Macau and KL in 2008. RMIT affiliated exhibitors: Scott Balmforth, RMIT Master of Architecture (research by project), 2008.
