    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.

    Born digital: a symposium exploring digital architectural and built environment records WORKSHOP PRESENTERS AND PRESENTATION SUMMARIES Monday 18 April 2016 Morning Session 9am-12.30pm Venue: Council Room, Hawke Building Level 5 Welcome and Introduction Assoc Prof Christine Garnaut, Director: Architecture Museum, School of Art Architecture and Design, University of South Australia E: [email protected] Archaeology of the Digital and born-digital archives at CCA Tim Walsh, Digital Archivist, Canadian Centre for Architecture, Montreal The last few decades have seen radical changes in the tools, education, and practice of architecture and design. Archaeology of the Digital is part of a multi-year research project launched by the Canadian Centre for Architecture (CCA) to investigate the development and use of computers in architecture, and the first step in the CCA’s strategic objective of creating a collection of digital architecture. The project, spanning a period of three years and including exhibitions, seminars, public programs and publications, has fostered research around two crucial under-addressed topics: how to collect, preserve, and catalogue born-digital architectural archives, and how to make this material accessible to the public and to researchers. Tim Walsh will share details and experiences from the project, and speak to the opportunities and challenges of archiving born-digital files of architecture and design. Tim Walsh is the Digital Archivist at the Canadian Centre for Architecture, an international research centre and museum in Montreal dedicated to the study of architecture as a public concern. He holds an MS in Library and Information Science from Simmons College, where he concluded his studies with a research paper entitled “Preservation and Access of Born-Digital Architectural Design Records in an OAIS-Type Archive,” and a BA in English from the University of Florida.

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.

The design brief primarily called for the rebranding of the building while maintaining the building’s façade historic value and aesthetic. Secondarily, the design is meant to activate the urban context where the building is located without competing with the neighboring landmarks. UNStudio saw an opportunity to rethink the transparent layer – the glass window – of the building as a tool to enhance its identity minimizing the aesthetic impact on its historic facade. This case study outlines opportunities to innovate while designing with glass through two often polarized perspectives: contemporary architecture and historic preservation. Architects constantly negotiate the value of private versus public space, transparency versus opacity, and building energy performance in our built environment through the use of glass. Emerging integrated technologies such as LED, photovoltaic, lamination, and touch sensitive layer are enabling new ways of rethinking the roles and applications of glass: as an architectural element, an information layering surface, and an agent for light and transparency.

    The Gallery Club Architecture in Photography

    Architecture in The Photography Gallery Four generations of Dutch Club architectural photographers The Gallery Club presents Architecture in Photography Four Generations of Dutch Architectural Photographers This exhibition focuses on four generations of Dutch architectural photographers, starting with Jan Versnel, who began working late 1940’s, followed by Jannes Linders and Iwan Baan, and concluding with Ossip van Duivenbode, whose work is from the last decade. The four photographers in this exhibition capture a wide variety of Dutch architecture in their images: from the work of the distinguished Nieuwe Bouwen (Dutch Modernism) architects Brinkman & Van der Vlugt to that of contemporary architects, such as Rem Koolhaas / OMA, Benthem Crouwel Architects, MVRDV and UNStudio / Ben van Berkel. International architects, such as Tadao Ando and SANAA, are also featured in the show. Together these photographers embody more than sixty years of Dutch architectural photography, capturing the development of the urban and architectural landscape. This presents a unique image of time and the special observation of four different photographers, who are inviting the audience to look with a different perspective than the eye of the architect. The Gallery Club is a platform for photography, organized around exhibitions, dinners and events. Every edition of The Gallery Club explores the work of a wide range of Dutch and international photographers through a different theme. www.thegalleryclub.com Jan Versnel 1924-2007 Photographer Jan Versnel is the most influential architectural photographer of his generation, known for his immaculate images of architecture, interiors and products. Contemporary architectural photographers see him as the pioneer of Dutch architectural photography and consider his work an important inspiration for the entire discipline.
  • Büro Ole Scheeren Unveils Design for Guardian Art Center in Beijing

    Büro Ole Scheeren Unveils Design for Guardian Art Center in Beijing

    PRESS RELEASE March 9, 2015 A fusion of time and a synthesis of China's rich cultural history: Büro Ole Scheeren unveils design for Guardian Art Center in Beijing Located in close proximity to the Forbidden City, construction is underway on the new headquarters of China’s oldest art auction house. Embedded in the historic fabric of central Beijing, the building will form a new hybrid institution between museum, event space, and cultural lifestyle center. Ole Scheeren’s design for the Guardian Art Center carefully inscribes the building into the surrounding context, in a sensitive architectural interpretation that fuses history and tradition with a contemporary vision for the future of a cultural art space. The ‘pixelated’ volumes of the lower portion of the building subtly refer to the adjacent historic urban fabric, echoing the grain, color and intricate scale of Beijing’s hutongs, while the upper portion of the building responds to the larger scale of the surrounding contemporary city. This floating ‘ring’ forms an inner courtyard to the building and further resonates with the prevalent typology of the courtyard houses in Beijing. “The Art Center will be a tangible link between past, present, and future. It celebrates history and tradition while also representing an important social and civic amenity for the capital” says China Guardian’s Chairman and Founder, Chen Dongsheng. “The design of the building shares its qualities with those of Guardian. It is profound, simple, and clean, and exudes a sense of stability and trustworthiness” adds Mr. Chen. “Ole Scheeren’s work is rooted in culture and history; it reflects the culture of the site and the culture and customs of the Chinese people.
