  • 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.
