Modern Movement Architecture in Central Sydney Heritage Study Review Modern Movement Architecture in Central Sydney Heritage Study Review
Attachment B Modern Movement Architecture in Central Sydney Heritage Study Review Modern Movement Architecture in Central Sydney Heritage Study Review Prepared for City of Sydney Issue C x January 2018 Project number 13 0581 Modern Movement in Central Sydney x Heritage Study Review EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This study was undertaken to provide a contextual framework to improve understanding post World War II and Modern Movement architecture and places in Central Sydney, which is a significant and integral component of its architectural heritage. Findings x The study period (1945-1975) was an exciting and challenging era that determined much of the present physical form of Central Sydney and resulted in outstanding architectural and civic accomplishments. x There were an unprecedented number of development projects undertaken during the study period, which resulted in fundamental changes to the physical fabric and character of Central Sydney. x The buildings are an historical record of the changing role of Australia in an international context and Sydney’s new-found role as a major world financial centre. Surviving buildings provide crucial evidence of the economic and social circumstances of the study period. x Surviving buildings record the adaptation of the Modern Movement to local conditions, distinguishing them from Modern Movement buildings in other parts of the world. x The overwhelming preponderance of office buildings, which distinguishes Central Sydney from all other parts of NSW, is offset by the presence of other building typologies such as churches, community buildings and cultural institutions. These often demonstrate architectural accomplishment. x The triumph of humane and rational urban planning can be seen in the creation of pedestrian- friendly areas and civic spaces of great accomplishment such as Australia Square, Martin Place and Sydney Square.

WOMEN and MODERNITY in INTERIOR DESIGN: a LEGACY of DESIGN in SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA from the 1920S to the 1960S
WOMEN AND MODERNITY IN INTERIOR DESIGN: A LEGACY OF DESIGN IN SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA FROM THE 1920s TO THE 1960s Carol A. Morrow A THESIS SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF THE BUILT ENVIRONMENT IN FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY UNIVERSITY OF NEW SOUTH WALES SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA © Carol A. Morrow 2005 ABSTRACT This thesis argues that women were seminal to the development of interior design as a discipline and profession in Sydney, Australia. Covering the period from the 1920s to the 1960s, this study identifies Thea Proctor, Nora McDougall, Margaret Lord, Phyllis Shillito and Mary White as foundational leaders who progressively advanced interior design in Sydney through individual and collective understandings of design. Focussing on their contributions to this development, this study explains complex interrelationships between women and modernity in interior design. This emergence of the discipline and profession in Sydney situates the initiatives of these five women at a transitional phase of the field’s global development when ‘interior decoration’ is challenged by modern attitudes and artistic theories of ‘design’. Working as individuals, Proctor and her successors advance the profession—previously characterised as a ‘natural’ pursuit for women of ‘taste’ and ‘style’—by their artistic, rational and practical approaches to interior design. At a time when no distinct discipline exists in Sydney, the women offer instruction and forge new directions by reformulating previous overseas traditions: incorporating a wide-range of aesthetic and theoretical conceptions of design, demonstrating common and different approaches to practice, and integrating changes in requisite knowledge and skills in response to their times.

EPISODE 28 SUBURB SPOTLIGHT – PADDINGTON Marcus: Hi, and Welcome to Sydney Property Insider, the Podcast That Talks About
EPISODE 28 SUBURB SPOTLIGHT – PADDINGTON Marcus: Hi, and welcome to Sydney Property Insider, the podcast that talks about all things property in the City of Sydney. Michelle and I are pleased to present our next in a line of suburb spotlights, focusing on Paddington this week. Michelle, how are you going this week? Michelle: Good, how are you? Marcus: Very, very well. So, Paddington, we were just talking earlier, it's amazing how much is actually there that, you know, I guess you take for granted until you start digging into a bit more. But, you know, what have you found in terms of the history that you started with? Michelle: Oh, there's so much there, and Paddington's probably best known today for its streets of beautifully restored terraced houses with their, you know, distinctive cast iron balcony railings sloping down in waves from Oxford Street, you know, to the Harbor Shores below. But the area was originally inhabited Gadigal People of the Eora Nation, and the development of the suburb was largely due to changes to transport availability along the ridge. Originally there was the Maroo, which is a path used by the local aboriginal people, and a road of some form was built by Governor Hunter along this track to the South Head as early as 1803. That's quite a while ago. So, the first land grant in the Paddington area, of 100 acres, which is 40.4 hectares, was made to three gentlemen, Robert Cooper, James Underwood, and Francis Forbes, and it was first promised by Governor Brisbane in 1823.

Recollections of a Glebe Society Founding Member by Dennis Mcmanus
th Issue 3 of 2019 (May 2019) ISSN 1836-599X Recollections of a Glebe Society founding member by Dennis McManus A member of the Glebe house was owned by a friend and fellow trainee Society recently told me of the town planner and later landscape architect, garden 50th anniversary celebrations presenter, writer and lecturer, John Stowar. to be held this year. The internet site for the Society shows all of the wonderful work you are now doing. Amazing to me is that you have on-line all of the Society's Bulletins back to the very first Dennis McManus one in July 1969 – all wonderfully accessible at the click of a button by year and issue. And these of course have brought back many memories and emotions. I was a founding member of the Society in 1969 attending the first meetings at the homes of Bernard Smith (1916-2011) and Kate (Challis) Smith (1915-1989) at 23 Avenue Rd and Rob and Sandra Darroch in Toxteth Rd. Old records of mine show that I was a paid up member at the time of the first General Meeting of the Society on June 19, 1969 at $2! As a piece of trivia comparison the 1969 annual fee for the National Trust was $3, Choice Magazine $4 and the NSW Ambulance Service $3. In December 1966 I started work at age 21 as a planning assistant with the then new State Planning Authority of NSW on the fourth floor of the Mark Foys Building in Goulburn St. In 1968 I moved to Glebe to be closer to work and the University where I was completing a degree.

ICOMOS Heritage Alert Template
ISC20C HERITAGE ALERT TEMPLATE ICOMOS International Scientific Committee on 20th Century Heritage dd DARLING HARBOUR – A Place for People 9 May 2013 (revision A) EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Sydney’s Darling Harbour Precinct, built for the 1988 Australian Bi-Centennial Celebration is currently under threat from a government plan to redevelop a large part of the area for commercial and residential development. The NSW Government Development Proposal SSD57521 for ‘Sydney International Convention, Exhibition & Entertainment Precinct’ (SICEEP) outlines the redevelopment of the convention centre, exhibition centre, entertainment facilities and associated public domain works. In addition the Sydney Entertainment Centre is to be demolished. The site slated for demolition and redevelopment has significant 20th century heritage values. It includes the Sydney Exhibition and Convention Centre complex and the waterfront public urban parkland known as Tumbalong Park incorporating an ‘Urban Stream’ and significant landscaping. The Waterfront Promenade incorporating a Spiral Water Feature and Chinese Garden of Friendship are being retained in the SICEEP scheme. Darling Harbour incorporates some statutory heritage items. They are the Pyrmont Bridge, Hydraulic Pumping Station No. 1, a Carousel and various listed archaeological areas including the Darling Harbour Rail Corridor. The Australian Bicentennial buildings are fine examples of Twentieth Century modern Australian architecture. Darling Harbour’s 56-hectare precinct2, managed until 2012 by the Sydney Harbour Foreshore Authority (SHFA) for the NSW Government agency, State Property, was one of the biggest urban redevelopments to be undertaken in Australia, heralding a new era for urban design of public landscape. The scale of the proposed ‘Sydney International Convention Centre, Exhibition & Entertainment Precinct’ redevelopment is much larger than the existing development and will overwhelm the surviving 19th century historic buildings in the area and significantly compromise and reduce the harbourside landscape setting.

Jaffas in the Suburbs – the Cinemas of Sydney's Eastern Fringe
Jaffas in the suburbs – the cinemas of Sydney’s eastern fringe John Walter Ross “The showing of cinematograph pictures has now developed into a permanent business of extensive proportions, and temporary structures which were erected in the suburban areas during the speculative period of the business and which are of a more or less make-shift character have served their purpose. The time has arrived when these temporary structures in the interests of the public should be replaced with permanent up-to-date buildings…for the safety, health and comfort of the public”.
