Devine Erby Mazlin The Multidisciplinary Architectural Practice 1975 -1995
by Brian Mazlin and Pem Gerner.
This book was Pem’s first major writing venture and was in joint authorship with Brian Mazlin. The book records the work of the Sydney-based multi-disciplinary architectural practice of Devine Erby Mazlin (DEM) from the mid -1970s through to the mid 1990s. The practice was seen by many at that time to be at the height of its powers. It was a truly multi-disciplinary practice comprising skilled practitioners in architecture, landscape architecture, interior design, industrial design, planning and urban design, supported by model makers and photographers.
DEM also had offices in Brisbane, New Zealand and Malaysia and at its peak had a team of 240 personnel on board.
The output of design and built works during this mid -1970s through to the mid 1990s period was simply extraordinary. Whilst this book of 200 pages has many illustrations and photographs the projects recorded therein they are but a tip of the iceberg.
Selected extracts from this book can be found in the Architectural Urban Design section of this website.
