Offering timely consideration of urgent ecological, civic and political questions about the act of breathing and experiences of air, (This is) Air is an expanded archive of Nic Brunsdon's 2023 NGV Architecture Commission of the same name. The book features a foreword by David Neustein (Other Architects, The Monthly), an introduction by Jessica Kwok (Storefront for Art and Architecture, NYC), new writing from Mark Jacques (Openwork, RMIT) and photography by Ben Hosking.

These contributions sit alongside conversations and addresses with insights from Nic Brunsdon, Dr Timothy Moore and Ewan McEoin of the NGV, and members of the technical team, as well as project materials and documentation, reflecting on the work as both process and product, architecture and art, experiment and triumph.
