Edmond and Corrigan is an Australian architectural firm based in Melbourne, Victoria, founded in the late 1970s by partners Maggie Edmond and Peter Corrigan, the firm's principals. The practice's work, both built and written, has been widely associated with the emergence of architectural postmodernism in Australia,[1] an interest in suburbia[2] and a search for an Australian architectural identity.[3] Peter Corrigan taught design studios at RMIT University for over 30 years, until his death in December 2016.[4]
