Max Dupain donated many of his architectural photographs, taken from the 1950s through to the 1980s, to the Royal Australian Institute of Architects. Most were identified but a number of images were not fully documented.

During August 2004 thirty of the Dupain photographs were exhibited at the RAIA in Potts Point, along with copies of over 400 other Dupain images where the location was unknown. A lot of these images were of Sydney School architecture and project homes and interiors, including Pettit & Sevitt houses. The RAIA asked the public to help identify what they are.

A number of these Dupain images are now online at the RAIA website. Sydney School architecture, project homes, Pettit & Sevitt interiors: it’s a great collection of images. Some of the locations are still lost. If you recognise them, send the RAIA an email.
