Architecture in South Australia
Architecture in South Australia spans a broad range of styles and influences. As noted by the State Library of South Australia, “South Australia is noted for the use of corrugated iron, for underground houses at Coober Pedy, and for ‘Adelaide lace’ decorative cast iron on verandahs.” (source)
The University of South Australia Architecture Museum maintains a database of biographical information about prominent South Australian architects from 1836 to the present day.
Notable buildings
