    FRYER LIBRARY Manuscript Finding Aid UQFL533 Brit Andresen Papers Size 34 boxes, 5 parcels, 15 tubes, 32 albums Contents Research papers, photographs, slides, and drawings of residential and religious buildings. Collection includes drawings by Brit Andresen, Peter O'Gorman, Michael Keniger and University of Queensland architectural students. Date range 1966 - 2011 Biography Brit Andresen was born in 1945 in Trondheim, Norway. During her childhood, Brit travelled to Australia on several occasions while her father worked as an engineer on large hydroelectric projects from 1951 to 1963. She completed her Bachelor of Architecture in 1969 from Trondheim University, Norway. In 1977 Andresen moved to Australia to work in what was intended to be a temporary full-time position with the University of Queensland. She went on to be the first female appointed in the Department of Architecture. It was here she met Peter O’Gorman. They married in 1980 and set up the practice Andresen O’Gorman Architects. Their work has been awarded and internationally published, which includes a special edition of UME 22 (2011). O’Gorman died in 2001. In 2002 Andresen was the first female recipient of the RAIA Gold Medal. Andresen’s concern in the 1980s about the rapidly disappearing Australian architectural heritage led to two projects – one with Michael Keniger and a number of students entitled “Main Street: Queensland country towns” and the other “Anglican Churches in the Diocese of Brisbane. The latter project was also to become the topic of Andresen’s PhD dissertation. After 33 years at University of Queensland, Andresen retired in in 2010 and was appointed Emeritus Professor in the School of Architecture.

The Church has a longstanding connection with the parishioners of Nundah and has been in continual use since its construction.

Prior to this acquisition the property was part of over 21 acres that had been under the ownership of the War Service Homes Commissioner. Sources indicate that the Church was originally constructed for the Eton High School for Girls. The chapel was originally designed by Robin Dods, based upon his plan he used for the church at “Cressbrook”, Toogoolawah. Eventually the chapel became part of St Francis Theological College. When the College moved to Milton the chapel remained …unused and was to be moved to allow an extension to Boyd Road.

Robert Riddel, University of Queensland Paten House, 1963–67. A Client’s Story: Offering a New Perspective for Architectural History The Paten family has owned farmland overlooking the Enoggera Reservoir since 1858. In 1963, Dick Paten and his wife Del commissioned Brisbane-based architect Neville Lund to build a house on part of the land that was too steep for farming. Lund, who graduated from the University of Queensland a decade earlier, designed them a modest house, perfectly in tune with its site and time. His choice of materials – pale face brick walls, waxed quarry tile floors and timbers such as Rose Mahogany and Redwood, all of which are natural and unpainted – attest to his desire to attain a pure formal language (a reference to his modernist training), while the landscaped setting of the building reveals his fascination with Japan, a country that he visited and from which he derived much inspiration.
