Founded in 1986, John Wardle Architects (JWA) is a design-intensive practice of 60+ staff that fosters a collaborative studio environment to excite and develop ideas. The studios design expertise has been recognised with many awards including 25 from Royal Australian Institute of Architects, among them Australia's most prestigious architectural prize: The Sir Zelman Cowen Award for Public Buildings. 3 Deep created Volume: John Wardle Architects, a complex and intricate monograph that pays homage to the incredible architecture and fastidious detail of the practice.
In a huge undertaking spanning more than two years, 3 Deep were involved from the outset and worked with JWA, Thames and Hudson, contributing writers and photographers to develop the ideas that would portray the work of our practice in painstaking detail. 3 Deep were immersed in every aspect of the initiative from creating the initial conceptual framework for the book to overseeing every last detail of packaging and production.
Creative staff faithfully read the text from each of the contributing writers and developed ideas from linking the theories and observations of each with the thousands of images and drawings from the archive. They invented formats for both the various texts and image collections that extended this analytical representation of our work. Throughout all of this 3 Deep promoted an open and engaging collaboration. "Volume is a testament to 3 Deep’s intense commitment and inexhaustible creative energies." – John Wardle, Principal.
