Though he garnered global praise at the peak of his career from 1960 to 1990, Australian architect John Andrews (1933-2022) faced waning fame as postmodern cultural transformations challenged modernist design values. Today, his body of work, which includes Scarborough College in Toronto and Gund Hall in Cambridge, Massachusetts, stands as a remarkable but underappreciated achievement. Following a path from Australia to the United States and Canada and back again, Andrews built a career and legacy that carefully navigated the emergence of postmodernism not by ignoring it, but by cultivating approaches that this new era foregrounded-identity, history, place-within the formal vocabularies of modernism. In a comprehensive account of his life's work, John Andrews: Architect of Uncommon Sense traces that legacy through essays from Paul Walker, Mary Lou Lobsinger, Peter Scriver, Antony Moulis, Philip Goad, and Paolo Scrivano, along with nearly 100 new photographs of existing buildings designed by Andrews in North America and Australia from visual artist Noritaka Minami.
