Flexible, lightweight, cheap and reusable, corrugated iron is a familiar material in the Australian landscape. A product of imperial Britain, where it was invented in 1829, corrugated iron was first shipped to Australia in the form of portable, prefabricated dwellings to house goldminers and settlers. We have come to identify it as part of our own vernacular tradition, to the extent that it was a star character in the "Tin Symphony" at the closing ceremony of the Sydney Olympic Games. It features in the sheds, fences and water tanks that populate our country and suburban environments, the prefabricated huts used in wartime and recycled for migrant housing, and increasingly in sophisticated modern architecture.
