  • MSAA/LSAA Conf Proceedings
    LSAA 2000 AUCKLAND STRUCTURAL EXPRESSION INARCHITECTURE Harry Street Design Director at Creative Spaces Ltd Abstract A personal view of how structure can be employed to create exciting and memorable buildings. Commencing with the English 'Hi Tech' architects, the influence of Philip Cox and work at Creative Spaces the address will illustrate with the aid of slides how structural concepts, their expression and how they are detailed can generate a vibrant interesting architecture. Introduction Expressing the structure in buildings, making it evident how they stand up, has been a legitimate, although perhaps not always intentional, form of architectural expression since time immemorial. There can be no doubt about how the roof of the Parthenon on the acropolis was held up. This was probably not the designer's main motivation when considering the buildings aesthetics, nor indeed the primary motivation of many others over the centuries. Nevertheless the structure is there for us to appreciate in this and in many other examples. The English Experience My own understanding of this was slow in dawning, but following my formal training and during my O.E. Iwas attracted to the exciting architecture of the English architects of the 70's where structural expression was a key ingredient of the so-called "Hi Tech" aesthetic. The most memorable buildings of this period included: The Centre Pompidou where everything is expressed, nothing hidden, all in its right place and very ordered through the use of strong colour The Willis Faber Dumas building in Ipswich is a far less exuberant example of the style. Nevertheless the relatively conventional concrete structure of round columns and waffle slab is plainly evident.

    CTBUH Year in Review: Tall Trends of 2020 Tall Buildings in 2020: COVID-19 Contributes To Dip in Year-On-Year Completions Abstract In 2020, the tall building industry constructed 106 buildings of 200 meters’ height or greater, a 20 percent decline from 2019, when 133 such buildings were completed.* The decline can be partly attributed to work stoppages and other impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic.

  • AN AUSTRALIAN ARCHITECTURAL SAGA This Draft Summary Clarifies A
    AN AUSTRALIAN ARCHITECTURAL SAGA This draft summary clarifies a 60 year political saga in Australian architectural politics, beginning with the arrival in Sydney of Harry Seidler in 1948 and continuing via his widow Penelope and her supporters after Seidler’s death in 2006. The angle for this version of the saga focuses on architectural politics around author Davina Jackson’s corruptly failed PhD thesis on Seidler’s main early rival in Sydney, Douglas Snelling. An earlier version of this text has been submitted to the Victorian Ombudsman, the NSW Board of Architects, and other relevant government agencies. It also has been circulated to key leaders of Australia’s architectural culture (including Michael Bryce at the Governor General’s Office) – with no questioning of the facts or interpretations. Three lawyers have seen this text and while one advises ‘this saga is so shocking it can never be officially admitted’, the facts have been so comprehensively recorded, circulated and witnessed, there is no realistic potential for the Seidlers, or other named protagonists, to deny their roles either. ......... In the age of the leak and the blog, of evidence extraction and link discovery, truths will either out or be outed, later if not sooner. This is something I would bring to the attention of every diplomat, politician and corporate leader: The future, eventually, will find you out. The future, wielding unimaginable tools of transparency, will have its way with you. In the end, you will be seen to have done that which you did. —William Gibson. 2003. ‘The Road to Oceania’ in The New York Times, June.
