About me
Christine Garnaut is Adjunct Associate Research Professor in Planning and Architectural History. She was founding Director of the Architecture Museum (2002-February 2020) in the School of Art, Architecture and Design at UniSA and of the Australian Housing and Urban Research Institute (AHURI) Research Centre, UniSA (2017-February 2020).
An historian, Associate Professor Garnaut's research focuses on Australian twentieth century planning and architectural history. She is particularly interested in the contemporary application of historical ideas, for example in the conservation and management of heritage places. Her book, Colonel Light Gardens: model garden suburb (Sydney: Crossing Press, 1999, reprinted 2006), based on her PhD thesis, was the first published account of a planned Australian garden suburb. Her doctoral research and book informed objectives and policies for the Colonel Light Gardens Plan Amendment Report (PAR) (2000) and Conservation Management Plan (2005). She was recognised for her contribution to the PAR, winning the inaugural Edmund Wright Heritage Award (2003) together with Mitcham Council and the Colonel Light Gardens Historical Society.
Associate Professor Garnaut has undertaken a variety of projects funded by the Australian Research Council and other government and industry sources. South Australian Department of Water (formerly Environment and Heritage) funding led to the development of an online biographical database, Architects of South Australia, managed by the Architecture Museum, and to the Architecture Museum monograph series. NATSPEC funding supported the development in 2018 and 2019 of a national framework for archiving digital architectural records. Associate Professor Garnaut is immediate past president (July 2018-July 2022) of the International Planning History Society, a past member of the Board of the International Confederation of Architectural Museums (icam) and former convenor of icam Australasia, a regional network of institutions, organisations and professional bodies holding architectural and allied records.
