  • Alastair Hall Swayn 1944–2016 Alastair Swayn, Who Died on 4
    Alastair Hall Swayn 1944–2016 Alastair Swayn, who died on 4 August 2016 of brain cancer, left his distinctive mark on Australia’s national capital, Canberra, through his many striking and innovative public and private buildings designed in his role as director of Daryl Jackson Alastair Swayn Architects. As the inaugural Australian Capital Territory Government Architect, Alastair ensured that design and contemporary thinking was at the fore of decision-making in creating Canberra as a small ‘new world city’. As Professorial fellow in Architecture of the University of Canberra he was widely recognised as a distinguished teacher and mentor. The boldness and imaginativeness of his vision are reflected in some of the city’s most distinctive buildings such as the Brindabella Business Park, the Centre for Arab and Islamic Studies at the Australian National University, the Singapore High Commission, and many others. Alastair Hall Swayn was born on 8 December 1944 in the small Scottish coal mining port of Methil in Fife. With its industrial maritime feel, the town marked the start of Alastair’s lifelong love of ships and industrial architecture. In 1948 Alastair and his parents moved to Liverpool, where his father, Frank, managed the British Cunard Line’s laundry service. As a young boy, Alastair would accompany him aboard some of the line’s famous ships such as the Mauretania and Caroni. The Art Deco interiors of these and other luxury liners inspired an abiding interest in the form. At Merchant Taylors, Alastair showed a flair for architectural drawing, and he went on to study architecture at Liverpool Polytech.

A corollary of the post-World War Two baby boom that gave rise to unprecedented demand for housing and schools in the 1950s, was the expansion of existing universities and the planning and construction of new universities. The design of these new institutions came at a time when architecture culture was redefining its urban mission. The demise of CIAM, the emergence of Team 10 and a new generation of urban thinkers saw increased focus on concepts of community, the street and the scale of the individual. The university and by extension the university college came to be considered potential utopian communities,

An a rboricultural assessment report has been prepared by Urban Forestry Australia that describes the quality and condition of the existing on site vegetation. 1.1 Rocklands Road has an enclosed streetscape that is created by the linking canopies of mature Camp hor laurel street trees occurring between the Mater Hospital site and the Justinian House site. The existing onsite vegetation along Rocklands road reinforces this canopy character and provides a strong understorey. The canopies of the Camphor laurel street trees have been significantly and poorly pruned for overhead cables along the Justinian House side. The corner with Sinclair Street comprises several small native trees, exotic palms and understorey perennials which are considered by the arborist to be ‘ generally of low vigour and visual amenity’.

  • Case Study: Bond University Mirvac School of Sustainable Development Building, Gold Coast, Australia
    CASE STUDY: BOND UNIVERSITY MIRVAC SCHOOL OF SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT BUILDING, GOLD COAST, AUSTRALIA Henry Anning1 INTRODUCTION This article provides a case study of the sustainability journey of the Bond University Mirvac School of Sustainable Development (MSSD) building, with a particular focus on the use of the Green Building Council of Australia Green Star Education PILOT tool. The building was awarded a 6 Star rating under this tool, the highest rating possible and representing “World Leadership” in sustainable development. The article does not aim to outline the entire process of the building, program, design, and construction; however, it focuses on the sustainability aspects of the design, the sustainability process, the sustainability features, and initia- tives and the relevant lessons learned. Bond University’s Mirvac School of Sustainable Development is one where planning, property, project manage- ment, construction management, and quantity surveying are integrated in a school of the urban environment in the context of sustainable development. The School is the fi rst designated institute to fully integrate environmental, urban planning, property development, quantity surveying, construction management, and facilities management disciplines with the practical issues of managing economic and social viability with societal expectations. Unlike most other property planning schools around Australia that have evolved over the last 50 or so years, this School started with a blank canvas. Its philosophy is to look at where we see the built environment—the urban development—being in the future rather than where it was in the past. The goal was to blend together the three aspects: eco- logical sustainability—indoor environment quality, trans- port, water, materials, emissions, land use and ecology— closely linked to economic and social sustainability.
