    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.

  • Anzac Parade and Our Changing Narrative of Memory1
    Anzac Parade and our changing narrative of memory1 IAN A. DEHLSEN Abstract Australian historian Ken Inglis once called Canberra’s Anzac Parade ‘Australia’s Sacred Way’. A quasi-religious encapsulation of the military legends said to define our national character. Yet, it remains to be discussed how the memorials on Anzac Parade have been shaped by these powerful and pervasive narratives. Each memorial tells a complex story, not just about the conflicts themselves but also the moral qualities the design is meant to invoke. The Anzac Parade memorials chart the changing perceptions of Australia’s military experience through the permanence of bronze and stone. This article investigates how the evolving face of Anzac Parade reflects Australia’s shifting relationship with its military past, with a particular emphasis on how shifting social, political and aesthetic trends have influenced the memorials’ design and symbolism. It is evident that the guiding narratives of Anzac Parade have slowly changed over time. The once all-pervasive Anzac legends of Gallipoli have been complemented by multicultural, gender and other thematic narratives more attuned to contemporary values and perceptions of military service. [This memorial] fixes a fleeting incident in time into the permanence of bronze and stone. But this moment in our history—fifty years ago—is typical of many others recorded not in monuments, but in the memories of our fighting men told and retold … until they have passed into the folklore of our people and into the tradition of our countries.2 These were the words of New Zealand Deputy Prime Minister J.R. Marshall at the unveiling of the Desert Mounted Corps Memorial on Anzac Parade, Canberra, in the winter of 1968.

Mentored by Colin Ednie- Brown, Arney rose to become one of the firm’s lead design partners. He is remembered as a key driver of the firm until his retirement in the 1990s. Early in his career he designed the distinctive Parmelia Hotel in central Perth and was involved in many office building projects. He won acclaim for his design of the Cable Beach Club resort in Broome in the 1980s. The international resort’s architectural style uniquely drew upon Broome’s built heritage and associations with the pearling industry. Arney also specialised in the field of medical architecture, designing and building hospitals and homes for the elderly and disabled.

    International Journal of Research in Humanities and Social Studies Volume 4, Issue 2, February 2017, PP 38 -45 ISSN 2394-6288 (Print) & ISSN 2394-6296 (Online) http://dx.doi.org/10.22259/ijrhss.0402005 Our Triassic Journalists Donald Richardson University of South Australia, Adelaide, Australia (retired) ABSTRACT In 2000, the Australian Government amended the Copyright Act 1968 by passing the Copyright Amendment (Moral Rights). This was necessitated by disputes among producers, directors and writers of cinematographic films as to which should be accredited as 'author' of the material for copyright purposes. The Amendment provided 'moral rights' to authors of many kinds of creative works, but the formulation contained within itself the means of its own denaturation. The current research indicates that this has never been remarked upon by the Australian community with the result that the principle of the Amendment is infringed with impunity in the press very frequently. Efforts to have this deficiency rectified have been unsuccessful so far. Keywords: art, design, craftsmanship, moral rights, authorship, attribution, functionality When the Adelaide press announced in mid-1919 that a memorial would be erected in the city to the late king Edward VII the city was assured that it would be made 'by one of the best men in the Empire' – but the artist was not named. Neither was he named in a meticulously detailed report of 19 June 1920, which told that the sculpture had arrived in Adelaide from London – 'in 114 packing cases' – and that the pedestal, which was being made locally, was nearing completion. However, that report did name all the local people who had worked on the pedestal's erection: the builder, the mason who cut the stone steps, the city's Supervisor of Public Buildings and the City Engineer.

  • Submissions, It Handed Down Its Report in January, 1988
    OUR TRIASSIC JOURNALISTS (Submitted for G C O'Donnell essay prize 2014) Donald Richardson 2014 When the Adelaide press announced in mid-1919 that a memorial would be erected in the city to the late king, Edward VII, the city was assured that it would be made 'by one of the best men in the Empire' – but the artist was not named. Neither was he named in a meticulously detailed report of 19 June, 1920, which told that the sculpture had arrived in Adelaide from London – 'in 114 packing cases' – and that the pedestal, which was being made locally, was nearing completion. However, that report did name all the local people who had worked on the pedestal's erection: the builder (Walter Torode), the mason who cut the stone steps (W H Martin), the city's Supervisor of Public Buildings (A E Simpson) and the City Engineer (J R Richardson). The memorial – which has, in recent years, been revealed again in its true glory by the re-designing of its site, North Terrace – was unveiled by the visiting Prince of Wales. But the artist's name was still not mentioned on the invitation to the unveiling! Adelaide had to wait until the 16 July issue of The Advertiser to be informed that the sculptor was none other than Bertram Mackennal, the only Australian artist ever to be elected to the prestigious Royal Academy of Arts (RA) – who, soon after the unveiling, was dubbed our first artist knight by the king (his friend!). Mackennal, who had migrated to London several years before, had made the memorial before the 1914-18 war, but – because bronze had been commandeered for the war effort – casting had to wait until 1919.

    Redevelopment of the Australian War Memorial referral 2019/8574 for consideration under the Environmental Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 Roger Pegrum April 2020 These comments are based on material provided by the Australian War Memorial as part of the process of public consultation in January 2020. The drawings included in the referral are preliminary in nature and generally do not include dimensions, levels or building cross sections. Attached for reference is correspondence in which I asked that architectural plans and cross sections be provided. The attached email of 25 January 2020 from the Deputy Program Director states that the Memorial intended to submit preliminary documentation in late February for assessment as a ‘controlled action’. At the date of this submission, the documentation has not been made available. I note also that the Australian War Memorial on 26 February 2020 sought a variation of the proposal to expand the scope of works to include inter alia additions and refurbishments to the C E W Bean Building, a re-profiled parade ground and associated engineering and infrastructure works. I may make further submissions when this additional documentation is available. the National Heritage List 1.

  • Elizabeth Bay and Potts Point Walk
    THE TWENTIETH CENTURY HERITAGE SOCIETY OF NSW WYLDESTART ST OF WALK ST. NEOT AV POTTS POINT MACLEAY ST MACLEAY ONSLOW AV ELIZABETH BAY MANNING ST CRICK AV GREENKNOWE AV ELIZ. BAY RD ELIZ. BAY RD BIRTLEY PL.ELIZ. BAY RD BARNCLEUTH KINGS CROSS WARD AVE DARLINGHURST RD BAYSWATER RD BAYSWATER RD Elizabeth Bay and Potts Point Walk Much of the early settlement and development in Potts Point and Elizabeth Bay is reflected in the names that are all about the area. Many of the streets and tall blocks of flats recall those who settled in the area and the grand houses that they caused to be built on their estates. For instance, Wylde Street commemorates Judge Advocate John Wylde, who re- ceived the first land grant at what was the very end of the Point in 1822, whilst Macleay Street honours Alexander Macleay, then Colonial Secretary, who received the largest grant in the area in 1828. Macleay’s house, designed by the eminent architect John Verge, is one of the few still standing today. In 1831 seventeen grants were formalised on Woolloomooloo Hill, as Potts Point was then called. The houses erected on these were intended to establish the area as one of exclusive and stylish dwellings. However, after only ten years the subdivision of the estates began, and this was the genesis of the area as it is today. By the 1890s Potts Point had become one of Sydney’s fashionable suburbs and was known for its large houses set in relatively spacious grounds. In 1912 the completion of “Kingsclere” at 1 Greenknowe Avenue broke new ground, as it was the first of the large blocks of flats to be erected in the area.
