In this book Groves has for the first time revealed some characteristic strands of Arthur Purnell?s talents, whereby his subject?s remarkable creativity is now clear for us to enjoy.? - Robert Irving, architecture historian and pupil of Arthur Purnell Arthur Purnell?s ?Forgotten? Architecture: Canton and Cars focuses on two early phases in the career of the much overlooked and underrated Australian architect, Arthur Purnell (1878?1964). In 1903, Purnell teamed up with the American engineer, Charles Paget (1874?1933) in Canton, China. Between 1903 and 1910, Purnell and Paget designed many important and impressive buildings, including the Arnhold, Karberg & Co. building (1907), one of the first reinforced concrete buildings in Southern China, and the South China Cement Factory (1907), which would later become the headquarters of Dr. Sun Yatsen (1866?1925), the first president of the Republic of China. Not many architects can design a cement factory fit for a president?s palace! When Purnell returned to Australia in 1910, he had to start again from scratch. As cars were taking over from horses in a big way, he saw that designing for cars would be the next big thing in architecture. The fledgling Australian car industry was full of colourful, larger-than-life characters like Col. Harley Tarrant (1860?1949), who built his first car in 1897 and Australia?s first petrol-fuelled car in 1901, and Alec Barlow Sr. (1880?1937), the archetypal dodgy car salesman. Purnell wanted in, designing many buildings for both men, including early car factories and car showrooms. In this unique book, Groves asks: why isn?t Arthur Purnell more famous? 606 $aArts 606 $aArchitects 606 $aArchitecture 606 $aArts$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/416000 606 $aArchitects$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/K11001 606 $aArchitectural History and Theory$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/K12008 615 0$aArts. 615 0$aArchitects. 615 0$aArchitecture. 615 14$aArts. 615 24$aArchitects. 615 24$aArchitectural History and Theory. 676 $a720.92 676 $a301 700 $aGroves$b Derham$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01224359 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910483150603321 996 $aArthur Purnell?s ?Forgotten?
