  • Woodlines – Design: Naja Utzon Popov
    Woodlines – Design: Naja Utzon Popov DESCRIPTION The Woodlines Rug Collection draws inspiration from nature and a study of wood and its attributes. Naja Utzon Popov has zoomed in on countless lengths of wood, magnifying the unique characteristics that contain a wealth of details and express the wood's character. The outcome - a familiar wood pattern presented on another material - creates a new expression with clear links to the source. The rugs stand out as elegant, fine-crafted works that add to a room's personality. Hand-knotted from wool, they feature long pile with a soft and luxurious feel. The rugs' tight weave makes them easy to clean and ensures that the pile remains straight and the pattern intact, even with heavy use. The collection consists of five unique designs in black, white and charcoal, and is available in three different sizes: 80x220 cm, 170x240 cm & 200x300 cm. THE DESIGNER Naja Utzon Popov inherited her creative genes from her grandfather, Jørn Utzon, a Danish architect known for designing the iconic Sydney Opera House in Australia; her mother, prominent Danish artist Lin Utzon; and her father, acclaimed Australian architect Alex Popov. Naja's childhood years in Denmark have always been an important source of inspiration for her work, as were the years she spent in Australia studying drawing, painting and etching at the Julian Ashton Art School. After moving to England, Naja continued her formal artistic training at the University of Westminster School of Media Arts and Design. Today, she lives in her native Denmark and works out of her studio in Copenhagen.

  • Modern Movement Architecture in Central Sydney Heritage Study Review Modern Movement Architecture in Central Sydney Heritage Study Review
    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.

  • Alastair Hall Swayn 1944–2016 Alastair Swayn, Who Died on 4
    Alastair Hall Swayn 1944–2016 Alastair Swayn, who died on 4 August 2016 of brain cancer, left his distinctive mark on Australia’s national capital, Canberra, through his many striking and innovative public and private buildings designed in his role as director of Daryl Jackson Alastair Swayn Architects. As the inaugural Australian Capital Territory Government Architect, Alastair ensured that design and contemporary thinking was at the fore of decision-making in creating Canberra as a small ‘new world city’. As Professorial fellow in Architecture of the University of Canberra he was widely recognised as a distinguished teacher and mentor. The boldness and imaginativeness of his vision are reflected in some of the city’s most distinctive buildings such as the Brindabella Business Park, the Centre for Arab and Islamic Studies at the Australian National University, the Singapore High Commission, and many others. Alastair Hall Swayn was born on 8 December 1944 in the small Scottish coal mining port of Methil in Fife. With its industrial maritime feel, the town marked the start of Alastair’s lifelong love of ships and industrial architecture. In 1948 Alastair and his parents moved to Liverpool, where his father, Frank, managed the British Cunard Line’s laundry service. As a young boy, Alastair would accompany him aboard some of the line’s famous ships such as the Mauretania and Caroni. The Art Deco interiors of these and other luxury liners inspired an abiding interest in the form. At Merchant Taylors, Alastair showed a flair for architectural drawing, and he went on to study architecture at Liverpool Polytech.
