Building Connections Is a Multi Layered Resource Aimed at Supporting the PART Teaching of Architecture Units As Part 23 of the Visual Arts Syllabus Stage 6 Building Connections is a multi layered resource aimed at supporting the PART teaching of architecture units as part 23 of the Visual Arts Syllabus Stage 6. It is divided into 3 parts – the frames, Practice conceptual framework and practice, & resource and focuses on the architecture of six material art galleries and museums. It explores the connections between architecture and other art forms, investigating ideas and themes through images, text, artmaking activities and links to other information. Two of the galleries are examined in more detail through essays and descriptions of practice, demonstrating how architecture can be considered within broader discussions of the Visual Arts. Part 3 includes video footage and interviews as a way of understanding the practice of Frank Gehry and Paul Berkemeier.

The author is grateful for the comments of Associate Professor Richard Weller, Tatum Hands, Dr Kathy Bowrey, Dr Fiona Macmillan and Kimberlee Weatherall. He is also thankful for the research assistance of Katrina Gunn. 1 Prominent projects such as National Museums are expected to be popular spectacles, educational narratives, tourist attractions, academic texts and crystallisations of contemporary design discourse. Something for everyone, they are also self-consciously set down for posterity and must at some level engage with the aesthetic and ideological risks of national edification.

The Garden of Australian Dreams is a landscaped concrete courtyard.2 The surface offers a map of Australia with interwoven layers of information. It alludes to such concepts as the Mercator Grid, parts of Horton’s Map of the linguistic boundaries of Indigenous Australia, the Dingo Fence, the 'Pope’s Line', explorers’ tracks, a fibreglass pool representing a suburban swimming pool, a map of Gallipoli, graphics common to roads, and signatures or imprinted names of historical identities.3 There are encoded references to the artistic works of iconic Australian painters such as Jeffrey Smart, Sidney Nolan, Arthur Boyd, and Gordon Bennett.

  • The Architecture of Scientific Sydney
    Journal and Proceedings of The Royal Society of New South Wales Volume 118 Parts 3 and 4 [Issued March, 1986] pp.181-193 Return to CONTENTS The Architecture of Scientific Sydney Joan Kerr [Paper given at the “Scientific Sydney” Seminar on 18 May, 1985, at History House, Macquarie St., Sydney.] A special building for pure science in Sydney certainly preceded any building for the arts – or even for religious worship – if we allow that Lieutenant William Dawes‟ observatory erected in 1788, a special building and that its purpose was pure science.[1] As might be expected, being erected in the first year of European settlement it was not a particularly impressive edifice. It was made of wood and canvas and consisted of an octagonal quadrant room with a white conical canvas revolving roof nailed to poles containing a shutter for Dawes‟ telescope. The adjacent wooden building, which served as accommodation for Dawes when he stayed there overnight to make evening observations, was used to store the rest of the instruments. It also had a shutter in the roof. A tent-observatory was a common portable building for eighteenth century scientific travellers; indeed, the English portable observatory Dawes was known to have used at Rio on the First Fleet voyage that brought him to Sydney was probably cannibalised for this primitive pioneer structure. The location of Dawes‟ observatory on the firm rock bed at the northern end of Sydney Cove was more impressive. It is now called Dawes Point after our pioneer scientist, but Dawes himself more properly called it „Point Maskelyne‟, after the Astronomer Royal.

Abstract Title: Bronze Southern Doors of the Mitchell Library, Sydney. The building of the major part of the Mitchell Library (1939 - 1942) resulted in four pairs of bronze entrance doors, three on the northern facade and one on the southern facade. The three pairs on the northern facade of the library are obvious to everyone entering the library from Shakespeare Place and are well documented. However very little has been written on the pair on the southern facade apart from brief mentions in two books of the State Library buildings, so few people know of their existence. Sadly the excellent bronze doors on the southern facade of the library cannot readily be opened and are largely hidden from view due to the 1987 construction of the Glass House skylight between the newly built main wing of the State Library of New South Wales and the Mitchell Library. These doors consist of six square panels featuring bas-reliefs of different early printers’ marks and two rectangular panels at the bottom with New South Wales wildflowers.

It is an important and prominent Australian example of Brutalist Architecture, and is the most decisive statement of the Brutalist philosophy as realised by Colin Madigan. It is a finely executed building reflecting great care and attention at all levels of detail throughout. His craft-based attitude to concrete construction is demonstrated in the quality finishes of the building. Madigan, working together with the landscape architect Harry Howard, has provided an outstanding landscape in which the building is sited with the sculpture garden on the lake side of the Gallery continuing the varied, spatial progression established within the building. It is difficult to describe the significance of the National Gallery and not mention the adjacent High Court building designed by the same firm in a similar style. The off form concrete masses, linking pedestrian bridge and strong, vertical elements at the entry of both the Gallery and High Court visually connect the two buildings.

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.

According to the historical record, Thrupp never lived on the land spending most of his time in Tasmania. However, his name still lives on in the area through Thrupp Street and Thrupps Point. The land went eventually back into the control of Captain Piper. However, Piper was bankrupted in 1826 and the land was sold and purchased by Daniel Cooper Snr and Solomon Levey. Levey returned to England and died 1833. By 1852 Daniel Cooper was the sole owner of the estate. In 1853 he died. In his will Daniel bequeathed the estate to his young nephew John Cooper the elder. According to the historian L F Mann, John Cooper is said to have resided at Neutral Bay for many years. The Cooper family held ownership of the land until the 19th century (1850s) when they started releasing allotments under 99 year leases towards the Neutral Bay foreshore and along Kurraba Point.

  • Planning Proposal
    PLANNING PROPOSAL ‘Landsdowne’ - 3 Anderson Street, Neutral Bay 12 August 2015 Planning Proposal – 3 Anderson Street, Neutral Bay 1 INTRODUCTION North Sydney Council (Council) has prepared a Planning Proposal to amend North Sydney Local Environmental Plan 2013 (NSLEP 2013). The primary intent of the Planning Proposal is to identify 3 Anderson Street, Neutral Bay as a heritage item under NSLEP 2013. In particular, the proposed amendment seeks to include a new item within Schedule 5 – Environmental Heritage and identify the subject site as a general heritage item on the Heritage Map to NSLEP 2013. The need for the Planning Proposal has arisen from the recommendations to a heritage assessment of the property prepared in response to the issuing of an Interim Heritage Order (IHO) over the property by the Minister for Environment and Heritage on 21 May 2015. The Planning Proposal has been prepared in accordance with Section 55 of the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act, 1979 (EP&A Act) and the Department of Planning and Environment’s (DPE) document “A guide to preparing planning proposals” (October 2012). 2 Planning Proposal – 3 Anderson Street, Neutral Bay 2 BACKGROUND The potential significance of 3 Anderson Street, Neutral Bay was first identified in 2013 during Council’s assessment of DA 337/13, which sought approval for the erection of a new residential flat building at 3 Raymond Road, Neutral Bay. At the time, the matter was referred to Council’s Strategic Planning division for consideration in a future amendment to NSLEP 2013. On 24 March 2014, the applicant to DA 337/13 informally sought planning advice as to whether Council might favourably consider the amalgamation of 3 Anderson Street with 3 Raymond Road, demolition of the two existing dwellings and the construction of a stepped 4 storey residential flat building across both sites.
