Architext bookshop is apparently the only bookshop in Australia (and rumour has it, one of the few in the world) entirely dedicated to architecture, landscape architecture and interior design.
Established 24 years ago by the Royal Australian Institute of Architects, the bookshop has long been a reliable friend for Melbourne’s designers and architects seeking inspiration. However, you don’t have to don black rimmed glasses, pronounce Le Corbusier, or even win at Jenga to proclaim your authority on Architecture here. Wall to wall stacks of books from the world’s best designers will serve as inspiration to anyone interested in how we shape the environments we inhabit and – how they shape us.
