Royal Australian Institute of Architect, S Aust Chapter ROYAL AUSTRALIAN INSTITUTE OF ARCHITECTS (SA Chapter) COLLECTION Architecture Museum, University of South Australia Royal Australian Institute of Architects, South Australian Chapter SERIES 125, 126, 127, 130, 151, 166, 180, 207, 301, 425 HISTORY Architects formed the South Australian Institute of Architects (SAIA) in 1886 as a professional body representing architects which also helped to redefine architecture as a profession. The SAIA worked on behalf of architects with regard to architectural education, codes of ethics, regulations, conditions of contract and architectural competition regulations. In 1904 Walter Bagot designed the seal of the SAIA. A federation of all state institutes of architects in Australia was established and the Royal Australian Institute of Architects was incorporated in 1930. However the SAIA continued to call itself by its original name rather than become a chapter of the RAIA. In 1940 the Architects Board of South Australia was established in order to register architects under the newly passed Architects Act 1939. In 1962 the SAIA voted to surrender its identity and became the RAIA (SA Chapter). Also in the 1960s the RAIA (SA Chapter) operated a Small Homes Service which provided architect designed house plans for a nominal fee to the general public. The chapter was also a strong advocate for the Planning and Development Act of 1967. Since the federation of the institutes in 1930, many South Australians have served as national President of the RAIA: Philip Claridge, Guy St John Makin, Louis Laybourne Smith, Jack Cheesman, Wilfred Haslam, James Irwin, Jack McConnell, Gavin Walkley, Robert Cheesman, and David Parken. In August 2008, the Royal Australian Institute of Architects changed its name to the Australian Institute of Architects.

  • BRG 18 Preliminary Inventory ______
    _____________________________________________________________________ WOODS BAGOT ARCHITECTS PTY. LTD BRG 18 Preliminary Inventory __________________________________________________________________ Edward Woods (1837-1913) arrived in South Australia during 1860 and began working for the architect Edmund Wright. He helped design the GPO and Town Hall before starting out on his own in 1869; his first commission being St. Peter's Cathedral. By 1884, he had been appointed the colony's Architect-in-chief, and was an inaugural member of the S.A. Institute of Architects formed in 1886. Walter Bagot (1880-1963), a grandson of Henry Ayers and a student of St. Peter's College, became articled to Woods in 1899. He later studied architecture in London before entering into partnership with Woods in 1905. The following year, Bagot assisted with the formation of the first school of architecture in Adelaide, under the auspices of the School of Mines. Herbert Jory, James Irwin and Louis Laybourne-Smith joined the practice as partners in ensuing years; Laybourne-Smith (1880-1965) was also Head of the School of Architecture for 40 years and instrumental in its foundation. Woods Bagot have been a very influential in South Australia, with early emphasis on traditional styles and in ecclesiastical architecture. The firm designed Elder House, the Trustee Building, Bonython Hall, Barr Smith Library, the War Memorial, Carrick Hill and a number of churches in Adelaide and the country. Later commissions included John Martins, the Bank of NSW, CML and Da Costa Buildings, ANZ Bank and the Elizabeth City Centre, while more recent examples include Standard Chartered, Commonwealth Bank, Telecom and Mutual Health buildings.

Tasmania . 170 Chapter 1: Introduction In Australia there are four Catholic cathedrals designed in the Romanesque style (Canberra, Newcastle, Port Pirie and Geraldton) and one Anglican cathedral (Parramatta). These buildings are significant in their local communities, but the numbers of people who visit them each year are minuscule when compared with the numbers visiting Australia's most famous Romanesque building, the large Sydney retail complex known as the Queen Victoria Building. God and Mammon, and the Romanesque serves them both. Do those who come to pray in the cathedrals, and those who come to shop in the galleries of the QVB, take much notice of the architecture? Probably not, and yet the Romanesque is a style of considerable character, with a history stretching back to Antiquity. It was never extensively used in Australia, but there are nonetheless hundreds of buildings in the Romanesque style still standing in Australia's towns and cities. Perhaps it is time to start looking more closely at these buildings? They will not disappoint. The heyday of the Australian Romanesque occurred in the fifty years between 1890 and 1940, and it was largely a brick-based style. As it happens, those years also marked the zenith of craft brickwork in Australia, because it was only in the late nineteenth century that Australia began to produce high-quality, durable bricks in a wide range of colours.

    4.1 Attachment A Forest Lodge Heritage Survey (2008) Recommendation : State Heritage Place NAME: Forest Lodge house, outbuildings, garden and garden components PLACE NO.: 16242 Address: 19 Pine Street, Aldgate SUMMARY OF HERITAGE VALUE: Description: 'Forest Lodge' is an extensive Victorian era property comprising a 'hill-station' residence and intricate parterred garden within a pinetum, located between Stirling and Aldgate in the Adelaide Hills. The pinetum is the largest conifer collection in South Australia, and one of the largest and most mature in Australia. The austere Victorian Baronial-style residence was constructed by Walter C Torode to a design by architect Ernest Henry Bayer creating a grand two-storey freestone structure characterised by a three-storey castellated tower, terra cotta chimney pots, with associated bathhouse and water tower. Later additions maintained this architectural style. Changes to the landscape design between the 1890s to the 1930s ·introduced a northern Italian design style under architect Walter Bagot but did not compromise the original Victorian character and plantings. These components include: Main Residence: a grand Victorian Baronial style two storey residence constructed by prominent builder Walter Torode to a design by Ernest Bayer, largely constructed while the Bagot's were on their 'grand tour', featuring a castellated lookout tower and aspects to the east and south offering views over the newly established and now mature gardens.

  • Rethinking Modern Architecture – Caroline Cosgrove
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Flinders Academic Commons Rethinking Modern Architecture – Caroline Cosgrove Rethinking Modern Architecture: HASSELL’s Contribution to the Transformation of Adelaide’s Twentieth Century Urban Landscape Caroline Cosgrove Abstract There has been considerable academic, professional and community interest in South Australia’s nineteenth century built heritage, but less in that of the state’s twentieth century. Now that the twenty-first century is in its second decade, it is timely to attempt to gain a clearer historical perspective on the twentieth century and its buildings. The architectural practice HASSELL, which originated in South Australia in 1917, has established itself nationally and internationally and has received national peer recognition, as well as recognition in the published literature for its industrial architecture, its education, airport, court, sporting, commercial and performing arts buildings, and the well-known Adelaide Festival Centre. However, architectural historians have generally overlooked the practice’s broader role in the development of modern architecture until recently, with the acknowledgement of its post-war industrial work.1 This paper explores HASSELL’s contribution to the development of modern architecture in South Australia within the context of growth and development in the twentieth century. It examines the need for such studies in light of heritage considerations and presents an overview of the firm’s involvement in transforming the urban landscape in the city and suburbs of Adelaide. Examples are given of HASSELL’s mid-twentieth century industrial, educational and commercial buildings. This paper has been peer reviewed 56 FJHP – Volume 27 ‐2011 Figure 1: Adelaide’s urban landscape with the Festival Centre in the middle distance.

  • BARR SMITH LIBRARY University of Adelaide
    Heritage of the City of Adelaide BARR SMITH LIBRARY University of Adelaide Off North Terrace This classically derived building is in stark contrast to Walter Hervey Bagot's other university building, the Bonython Hall, which was built in the mediaeval Gothic style. The library, of red-brick, stone dressings and freestone portico, is reminiscent of Georgian England, imposing, but elegant. It has also been likened to similar buildings at Harvard University. The original library complex dominates the main university lawns opposite the Victoria Drive Gates, enhanced by mature trees, and blends with the various other buildings also in red-brick and of this century. The Barr Smith Library is a memorial to Robert Barr Smith who from 1892 bequeathed large sums of money to purchase books for the university library. After his death in 1915 the family made the maintenance of the Library its concern. Following his father, Thomas Elder Barr Smith became a member of the council in 1924 and offered £20 000 for a new library to relieve the congested state of the one in the Mitchell Building. He increased his gift to cover the expected building cost of £34 000. Walter Bagot chose a classic style for the proposed library. The pamphlet describing the official opening of the Barr Smith Library stated that: The tradition that the mediaeval styles are appropriate to educational buildings dies hard; but it is dying. Climate is the dominant factor, and a mediterranean climate such as this should predispose us to a mediterranean, that is to say, a classic form of architecture .

On retiring from my own professional career I wanted to make good the omission and give voice to his silence, so I have spent many hours tapping out the story of his life. Perhaps not wanting to suffer a similar if more appropriate exit, I wrote my own memoir. Kind people read them, making various suggestions. One friend told me everyone was writing schoolday stories; no one wanted to read about missionaries nowadays, but perhaps, a document on my years as an architect, and his in the mission field, might work if I identified the necessary unifying themes.

By the mid 1950s a new purpose-built town had been constructed in the Australian desert, named “Woomera”, with a population of 7,000 at its peak. No expense was spared in establishing the testing grounds, laboratories and infrastructure – which included a security cleared film laboratory and production facilities at Salisbury near Adelaide – to support the Anglo-Australian Joint Project’s research and experimentation.

  • Art Casualty of Built History – Curator Essay
    1 Art Casualty of Built History Curator Essay by Emily Collins Museum Consultant and Curator with the Women’s and Children’s Health Network Following on from Forgotten Murals of the Adelaide Children’s Hospital (2018), the exhibition Forgotten Murals II: Art Casualty of Built History sketches the life story of another significant large-scale artwork to emerge from the Women’s and Children’s Hospital archives. The work was a Modernist concrete mural relief with raised abstract motifs designed by Reginald Goodman Steele (1911–84), an architect for Woods, Bagot, Laybourne-Smith and Irwin (now the global firm Woods Bagot). Bold in both design and scale, the sculpture inhabited the upper southern façade of the General Purposes Building (GPB) constructed c1962–4 at the old Children’s Hospital in North Adelaide. A mid-century example of Arts in Health, this playful artwork was designed to bring happiness to young patients. It also brightened the days of those who laboured to maintain the built environment to support their healing. There are few known photographs of this artwork. It was difficult to capture in entirety. Its host structure, the low-rise GPB, dwelled in a shadow between the towering chimney of the Hospital’s Boiler House and the 11-storey Outpatients (Clarence Rieger) Building, which it was built to serve. Woods Bagot had been commissioned to design all three structures as part of the same major project. The GPB was charged with housing the Hospital’s electrical transformers, emergency generator, liquid oxygen plant and maintenance workshops. Reginald Steele, creator of the curious mural, was articled to Woods Bagot in the late 1920s while studying at the South Australian (SA) School of Mines and Industries (now the University of South Australia).

Sydney: SAHANZ, 2015. Christine Garnaut, University of South Australia An ‘Innovation’ at the South Australian School of Mines and Industries: A Town Planning Course in the Architecture Department 1949-1955 The Architecture Department at the South Australian School of Mines and Industries offered Australia’s first tertiary course in town planning commencing 14 February 1949. Described by one Adelaide newspaper as an “innovation”, the postgraduate program was open to qualified architects, surveyors and engineers. Its introduction marked the achievement of a key ambition of the newly established Town Planning Institute of South Australia (TPISA) to provide a local opportunity for appropriately qualified individuals to train in planning. South Australian architects Gavin Walkley and Louis Laybourne Smith played a prominent part in developing the planning course and securing its delivery through the Architecture Department. This paper examines the background to its introduction including the particular circumstances of post-war expansion in South Australia that fuelled the demand for locally trained planners; the role of professional bodies, notably the South Australian Institute of Architects and the TPISA; and the contributions of Walkley and Laybourne Smith.
