INTRODUCTION 1.1. OVERVIEW The purpose of this Architectural Design Competition Report is to inform the City of Sydney Council (City of Sydney) of the process and outcomes of the Architectural Design Competition (Competitive Design Process) for the redevelopment of 210-220 George Street, Sydney, and the selection of the winning architectural design. Poly Australia (the Proponent) invited six competitors to participate in the Architectural Design Competition and prepare design proposals for the site. The six architectural firms that participated in the Competitive Design Process were: • Hassell • Fitzpatrick + Partners • BVN • Grimshaw • PTW in association with Skidmore Owings & Merrill (SOM) San Francisco (local and international partner) • DBJ (emerging architectural firm) All six competitors participated in the Competitive Design Process and produced a final submission for consideration and assessment by the Jury. The Competitive Design Process was undertaken in accordance with the Sydney Local Environmental Plan 2012 (Sydney LEP 2012), the Sydney Development Control Plan 2012 (Sydney DCP 2012), and the City of Sydney Competitive Design Policy 2012. Clause 3.5 of the City of Sydney Competitive Design Policy 2012 sets out the requirements for an Architectural Design Competition Report, as follows: (1) Following its determination, the jury is required to prepare a report (to be referred to as the Architectural Design Competition Report) detailing: (a) The competition process and incorporating a copy of the competition brief; (b) The jury’s assessment of the design merits of each of the entries; (c) The rationale for the choice of preferred design which must clearly demonstrate how it best exhibits design excellence in accordance with the provisions of Clause 6.21(4) of the Sydney Local Environmental Plan 2012 and the approved Design Excellence Strategy; and (d) An outline of any further recommended design amendments or proposed conditions of development consent that are relevant to the achievement of design excellence. (2) The jury is expected to reach a decision on whether to request a redesign within 14 days and will submit a jury report (referred to as the Architectural Design Competition Report) to the developer and the consent authority, within 14 days of its decision. (3) Following the jury’s decision, the consent authority may require the developer to hold a public exhibition of the design competition entries. This report has been prepared in accordance with this Clause and outlines the Competitive Design Process, the Jury’s assessment of each scheme, and demonstrates the Jury’s rationale for selection of the winning scheme. Each Jury member has reviewed and endorsed the content contained within this report. The Competitive Design Process was undertaken in accordance with the approved Design Excellence

  • Australia's Martial Madonna: the Army Nurse's Commemoration in Stained
    Australia’s Martial Madonna: the army nurse’s commemoration in stained glass windows (1919-1951) Susan Elizabeth Mary Kellett, RN Bachelor of Nursing (Honours), Graduate Diploma of Nursing (Perioperative) A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at The University of Queensland in 2016 School of History and Philosophical Enquiry Abstract This thesis examines the portrayal of the army nurse in commemorative stained glass windows commissioned between 1919 and 1951. In doing so, it contests the prevailing understanding of war memorialisation in Australia by examining the agency of Australia’s churches and their members – whether clergy or parishioner – in the years following World Wars I and II. Iconography privileging the nurse was omitted from most civic war memorials following World War I when many communities used the idealised form of an infantryman to assuage their collective grief and recognise the service of returned menfolk to King and Country. Australia’s religious spaces were also deployed as commemorative spaces and the site of the nurse’s remembrance as the more democratic processes of parishes and dioceses that lost a member of the nursing services gave sanctuary to her memory, alongside a range of other service personnel, in their windows. The nurse’s depiction in stained glass was influenced by architectural relationships and socio- political dynamics occurring in the period following World War I. This thesis argues that her portrayal was also nuanced by those who created these lights. Politically, whether patron or artist, those personally involved in the prosecution of war generally facilitated equality in remembrance while citizens who had not frequently exploited memory for individual or financial gain.

  • The York Street Wall
    THE YORK STREET WALL A conservation study of an early high rise streetscape in York Street Sydney. Final Submission Colin Brady B.Sc. t3.Arch. Subject ref. 39.llOG Graduate Project M:B:ENV. Nov 1987 ABSTRACT The high rise building emerged as a key element in the growth of western cities through the period 1870-1940. This report based upon surviving examples in York Street Sydney examines the emergence of the early high rise building type and its formation of a characteristically walled streetscape from which the report takes its title. With a view to establishing the cultural significance of this grouping (streetscape) this report traces the varying forces behind its development. The development of Sydney 1 s streetplan from 1788, the economic boom and recession of the late 19th Century and the continuous importation and adaption of technologies are reviewed in terms of their effects upon the growth of York Street. As essential as the physical and economic factors in terms of growth was public and professional acceptance of the high rise building. The debate as to the acceptability of this new building form and its correct aesthetic treatment in Sydney is discussed in parallel to the physical growth of York Street. A case is established for an internationally accepted image of the high rise city streetscape based upon North American precedents both real and conceptualised. The adaptation of this imagery to York Street is explained as the basis for the overall cohesiveness of the divergent architectural styles evident in the street. Examination of documentary evidence and the buildings remaining from the period points to a sharp termination of these generative forces at the outreak of World War 2.
