    AUSTRALIAN ROMANESQUE A History of Romanesque-Inspired Architecture in Australia by John W. East 2016 CONTENTS 1. Introduction . 1 2. The Romanesque Style . 4 3. Australian Romanesque: An Overview . 25 4. New South Wales and the Australian Capital Territory . 52 5. Victoria . 92 6. Queensland . 122 7. Western Australia . 138 8. South Australia . 156 9. 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.

  • Victoria Square's $100M Makeover
    Adelaide Park Lands Preservation Association Inc PO Box 3040 Rundle Mall SA 5000 www.adelaide-parklands.org 9 June 2010 Mr Peter Smith Chief Executive Officer Att: Manager City Design (Ref: Victoria Square) Corporation of the City of Adelaide 25 Pirie Street ADELAIDE VICTORIA SQUARE/TARNDANYANGGA DRAFT MASTERPLAN Victoria Square is a key component of William Light’s Adelaide Plan, and Adelaide’s potential to meet at least six State Heritage criteria and three World Heritage criteria has previously been identified. Council would also be aware of the City of Adelaide’s forthcoming 175th anniversary, which will coincide with the Adelaide Park Lands Preservation Association’s 25th anniversary. In light of these circumstances, the draft masterplan is disappointing, as it seems to be unaware of higher aspirations for promoting Adelaide internationally, does not intend progress towards these, and seems to intend destruction of several aspects of Victoria Square’s distinctive heritage. The Association would have welcomed restoration of Victoria Square that respected and conserved the site, returned excess roadways and hard surfaces to accessible green open space, and repaired damage caused by inappropriate event usage. The Association would also have preferred to assist the Corporation to address errors and omissions in the Victoria Square draft masterplan ahead of its release for public consultation. Having been denied that opportunity and given its current unsuitable form, the Association is unable to support the draft masterplan design proposed for Victoria Square on several grounds, and provides herein detailed comment on the following: 1. lack of credibility and unwarranted cost; 2. failure to recognise and conserve Victoria Square’s landscape, natural and cultural heritage significance including vistas into, from, through, and within the Square, and 3.

  • The Creation of the Torrens : a History of Adelaide's River to 1881
    The Creation of the Torrens: A History of Adelaide's River to 1881 by Sharyn Clarke This is submitted for the degree of Master of Arts in History School of Social Sciences University of Adelaide CONTENTS List of Paintings and Maps Introduction 1 Chapter One: Conceiving the Torrens t4 Chapter Two: Black and White 4t Chapter Three: The Destruction of the Torrens 76 Chapter Four: Meeting the Demand for Progress 105 Chapter Five: The Torrens Lake 130 Conclusion 157 Bilbiography ABSTRACT The River Torrens in Adelaide is a fragile watercourse with variable seasonal flows which was transformed in the nineteenth century into an artificial lake on a European scale. This thesis presents the reasons behind the changes which took place. The creation of the Torrens covers both physical changes and altering conceptions of the river from a society which, on the whole, desired a European river and acted as though the Torrens was one. The period of study ranges from the Kaurna people's life, which adapted around the river they called Karrawirraparri, to the damming of the river in 1881, Being the major river forthe city, the relatively higher population density meant huge environmental pressure, an inability to assess its limits lead to it being heavily polluted and degraded only a decade after white settlement. Distinct stages in the use of the river can be observed and a variety of both positive and negative responses towards it were recorded. By studying the interactions with, and attitudes towards, the River Torrens, and the changes it has undergone, we learn much about the societies that inhabited the river and their values towards a specific and crucial part of the natural environment.
