Patricia Callan

Patricia Callan

Geelong native, Patricia Callan, was raised in a suburban, architect-designed house and pursued studies in Sculpture and Design in Melbourne in the 1990s. In 2008 she created Modernist Australia, a website now social media presence, to highlight local Mid-Century architecture being summarily lost in Australia’s heated housing market.  

Patricia has appeared on ABC radio, The Design Files and Fairfax publications to champion Mid-Century Modernist architecture from a layman’s perspective. The New Modernist House is her first book.
