The purpose of the convention is to stimulate amongst the students an aware- ness of technical advances in the building industry. The congress committee has decided on the theme: "New Materials — New Architecture", and this will be supple- mented by visiting guest speakers, work sessions, open dis- cussions and an Australia-wide competition for the students, offering £300 prize money donated by the Australian Gas Association. Adjudicators of the competition will be George Molnar, John Dalton and Ray Berg. Eric Lyons, James Stir- ling, Felix Candela, Pier Luigi Nervi, Prof. Janeba, Prof. Albert Dietz and Paolo Solero have been approached to attend the convention as guest speakers.

The Anatol Kagan Collection includes material relating to the Russian-born émigré’s Melbourne practice in the 1940s and early 1950s, and his subsequent Sydney practice from the 1960s. His post-war domestic architecture can be directly compared with that of other émigré architects whose work is represented in the Archives, including Frederick Romberg (rda Newsletter #1 2008), Ernest Fooks (some of whose drawings and books were donated to rmit a number of years ago by Noemi Fooks) and Frederick Sterne (rda Newsletter #1 2008).

  • Willys Keeble Heritage Advisor, Maroondah City Council Pine Trees in 1990 and the Regrowth of Indigenous Vegetation
    AMENDED HERITAGE CITATION NAME: Dexter House ADDRESS: 46 Dickasons Rd. Heathmont HERITAGE STATUS: Recommended for Heritage Overlay AUTHOR: Willys Keeble Heritage Advisor Maroondah City Council DATE: 24 November 2017 Place History Heathmont was part of the Ringwood municipality. Between 1947 and 1961 Ringwood’s population increased fourfold. Few houses built in its post WW2 housing boom were architect designed. In 1956 agricultural scientists and environmentalists Mick and Liz Dexter purchased five acres sloping south from Dickasons Rd. to the Dandenong Creek. It had riparian bushland, an old pine plantation, and was an expansive environment for their four young children. The Dexters were introduced to architects John and Phyllis Murphy by a family friend who worked as their secretary and typist1. They engaged the Murphys to design a rectangular house which was to be on one main level with a separate bedroom for each child, a secure playroom off the kitchen, and windows framing special views to the south. They wanted durable materials that did not require painting: John Murphy specified imported aluminium roofing and cladding of high quality rough-sawn Oregon. For cost reasons, locally made Hardies ‘Shadowline’ moulded ribbed asbestos cladding, then newly available, was used on the external end walls. The house was built in 1958 by Herbert Allen, the £7,000 budget partly funded by a War Service home loan. In 1980 the Ringwood Council resumed some land abutting Dandenong Creek. In 1988 the Dexters donated approximately 60% of their land to the Victorian Conservation Trust (now Trust for Nature). Acting as the Trust’s Management Committee for Dexters Bush reserve, they oversaw the removal of 80 1 Phyllis and John Murphy were at the forefront of modern architecture in the 1950’s and 60’s.

  • Background Information – Open Systems House (Former Churchill
    APRIL 2018 ACT Heritage Council BACKGROUND INFORMATION OPEN SYSTEMS HOUSE (FORMER CHURCHILL HOUSE) (Block 10 Section 7 Braddon) At its meeting of 5 April 2018 the ACT Heritage Council decided that Open Systems House (former Churchill House), Braddon, was not eligible for provisional registration. The information contained in this report was considered by the ACT Heritage Council in assessing the nomination for the former Churchill House against the heritage significance criteria outlined in s10 of the Heritage Act 2004. The former Churchill House was designed by Robin Boyd between 1969 and 1970 with construction being completed by April of 1972. It was Boyd’s last major commission when he died in 1971. The large commercial Brutalist design was a departure for Boyd who was known for his residential designs that were generally classed as ‘Melbourne Regional’ which feature light, simple and elegant designs. The Winston Churchill Memorial Trust of Australia The Winston Churchill Memorial Trust of Australia (the Trust) was established by a single major charity drive shortly after Winston Churchill’s death in 1965. The drive raised over £2million and the Trust has been running off the profits of the investments made with that money. The Trust offers applicants from a wide range of backgrounds and occupations a travelling fellowship - an opportunity to travel abroad to participate in research. During the late 1960s the Trust decided to invest some of the initial capital funds in a new building, which “was considered to be a profitable investment by directors and advisors to the trust” (The Canberra Times 12 January 1972, p17).
