Eva Buhrich

Difficulties with the Nazi regime forced her relocation to Berlin, where she continued to study under modernist expressionist architect Hans Poelzig, and then to Zurich, where she completed her diploma in 1937 at the technical university, under Otto Salvisberg.

[2] Professor Alfred Hook of the University of Sydney helped both Buhrich and her husband to secure work at an architecture practice run by Heather Sutherland and Malcom Moir in Canberra.

[3] After periods working as an architect for the Commonwealth Experimental Building Station and in partnership with her husband, Eva Buhrich had established herself as a writer and editor by the 1950s.

Between the 1940s and 1950s, her writing appeared in The Australian Women's Weekly, Woman, Walkabout and House and Garden, among other publications, at times under assumed (male) names.

[4] Notably, Buhrich penned a column in the Sydney Morning Herald from 1957 through to the late 1960s[5] and published the book Patios and Outdoor Living Areas in 1973.
