Bunning, Walter, 1912-1977
Homes in the sun : the past, present and future of Australian housing / by Walter Bunning ; foreword by Dr. H.C. Coombs. (Sydney : W.J.
Nesbit, 1945)
Bunning was an architect and town planner who had worked for the
Commonwealth Housing Commission during the War. His influential book, Homes
in the Sun argued that Australian houses should be designed primarily to
suit local conditions. Taking advantage of the sun is one of the themes
being put forward but the book is more wide-ranging, having sections on the
design of apartments, but most especially the need for community planning.
