The Australian Ugliness is a 1960 book by Australian architect Robin Boyd. Boyd investigates visual pollution in Australian aesthetic, in relation to architecture and the suburbs. In the text he coins the term "featurism" to describe the state of Australian architectural design. Boyd proposes that education in design, landscaping and architecture can be a means to resolve the ugliness he observed.
