Document - Manuscript, Robin Boyd, The Rape of Nareeb, 1965
Discusses the Estate of Nareeb, Kooyong Rd; 1888. The National Trust is disinterested, land denuded and house demolished, and there is needless destruction of natural and historic relics for redevelopment, particular destruction of trees exclusive to Australia. Boyd says it shows no consideration for future residents; innocence and undemanding passivity of consumers.Original manuscript of an article published as 'The Rape of Nareeb' in The Australian in 06.03.1965.Typewritten, quarto, 6 pagesnareeb, kooyong rd; national trust; destruction of natural historical environment; redevelopment, robin boyd, manuscript -

Document - Manuscript, Robin Boyd, ("Your problem a fragment…")
Handwritten draft for a speech, date uncertain. Considers the question of Australian identity: whether it exists, what can be done to foster it in the arts, design and culture as a whole.

Document - Manuscript, Robin Boyd, Total Design, c. 1971
An incomplete article which discusses what is total design and how there is no agreement; how technology leads architecture and significance of appearances; the monumental tradition of older architects' approach, and, in opposition, Pop architecture, which puts visual fun into cities.

Document - Manuscript, Robin Boyd, Fun and Games at the 'Village Green', 1965
Using 'Village Green Hotel' as an example, Boyd laments on how the development of new Australian Industries' standard of design comfort is rather 'un-Australian'. Further, he criticises how the evolving style of Australian architecture is predominantly inspired by international precedent and questions whether taking foreign elements is considered an Australian style.Original manuscript of an article published as ‘Fun and games at the Village Green’ in The Australian, 03.07.1965.Typewritten, quarto, 4 pagesvillage green, 'un-australian', robin boyd, manuscript, hotel -
