All the Buildings in Melbourne is a journey through the exciting city of Melbourne, told through his unique and charming cityscape drawings that pay tribute to the city's diverse architectural styles. James' buildings are colourful and packed with fun and offbeat details, yet they still capture the technical elements and the essence of the architecture that makes Melbourne such a beautiful city.

Organised by neighbourhoods, the book features iconic Melbourne structures, such as the Arts Centre and the iconic Flinders Street Station, as well as the everyday buildings that give the city its character — the terrace houses in Fitzroy, the Melbourne trams and of course, the ubiquitous coffee scene.

All the Buildings in Melbourne Reviews

    Although I love travelling to world cities like Paris and London, and I enjoy a jaunt to a regional city like Bendigo or a weekend away in a rural B&B, I love my city, Melbourne, and would never live anywhere else. So of course I was enchanted at the prospect of All the Buildings in Melbourne, *that I’ve drawn so far, by artist James Gulliver Hancock. It arrived with a pile of other self-indulgent goodies from Readings today*, and my only disappointment is that there isn’t more of it than the 64 pages of wonderful drawings of buildings in my city.

    You can get some idea of his style from the cover, and also from the video at his website of his drawing of Curtin House, but really, you just have to buy the book.

    It has drawings of the famous buildings you’d expect to see, like the Arts Centre (from a quirky angle); and Parliament House and the Eureka Tower, and so on, and there are interesting snippets about the buildings too.
