History of building(s) etc. 2.1 Chronology commission concept: The complex was designed as a series of stages, with Stage 1 construction commencing in 1964. commission date: Site for Tocal College picked out on 8th July 1963; tenders based on the working drawings were called for construction in November 1963. design period(s): 1963 -1965 Stage 1, ongoing since then as required. start of site work: 31st January 1964 first sod turned for construction. The first 15 students were admitted in March 1965, when the campus was functional but incomplete. completion/inauguration: Inauguration of Stage 1 on 6th November 1965 by Prime Minister of Australia, Sir Robert Menzies. 2.2 Summary of development The main campus buildings are commission brief: arranged around a cloistered quadrangle, with European monastic references tempered by its loose, open sided, formation. The northern side of the quadrangle is ingeniously left open to direct the eye northwards to the colonial Tocal Homestead on the hill opposite, and to embrace the broader landscape setting, creating one unified and unique composition, encompassing College, Homestead and the Paterson valley setting. design brief: A tertiary agricultural residential college with accommodation on site for 120 students, with the necessary teaching and ancillary buildings, sporting facilities, and required rural d o ! c o _ m o ! m o _ International working party for ISC/R members update 2003 documentation and conservation of buildings, sites and neighbourhoods of the for office use only modern movement 7 of 84 TOCAL COLLEGE – C B ALEXANDER CAMPUS PATERSON NEW SOUTH WALES buildings around open courtyards. building/construction: The quadrangle is unified by the simple repetition of forms and structure, enhanced by the play of light and shadow, and by a limited palette of locally sourced materials; brick, timber, and terracotta tile, all chosen for their textural qualities. The rendition is reminiscent of traditional Japanese architecture, yet the selection of materials and their crafting is distinctly derived from local rural traditions. The common palette of materials, of brick, timber and terracotta tile, and the extensive colonnades connecting the main campus buildings make a unified complex. Within this uniformity there are marked contrasts of architectural expression. Each of the main buildings flanking the quadrangle is necessarily varied in design by its function, maintaining an individual character and structural expression. completed situation: An open quadrangle of buildings facing north, with ancillary courtyards attached. The chapel is in the middle of the campus. original situation or character of site: Open grazing country Tocal College, C B Alexander AWARDS Campus won both the RAIA Sir John Sulman Medal for Outstanding Architecture and the RAIA Blacket Award for a Building of Outstanding Merit in rural NSW in 1965.

Although the nomination carries the National Trust’s name, in its current form it is very different to the nomination submitted by the National Trust in 2015. It appears to have been considerably re-worded since its receipt by Heritage NSW. The Ultimo Power House is clearly of State-level significance and should be included in the State Heritage Register (SHR), to give it the appropriate level of statutory oversight and protection. However, the National Trust is gravely concerned that, if the Power House were to be listed on the State Heritage Register for the reasons set out in the advertised nomination, then it would be listed for inadequate and poorly stated reasons (even if this were preferable to it not being listed at all). When the National Trust nominated the Ultimo Power House in 2015, we believed that the site involved larger heritage significance issues associated with its operation as part of the Powerhouse Museum. At the time, we had insufficient information to pursue that aspect of its significance.

ISBN-10: 0-9876055-0-X ISBN-13: 978-0-9876055-0-4 Hijjas Kasturi and Harry Seidler in Malaysia Australian-Asian Exchange and the Genesis of a “Canonical Work” Amit Srivastava University of Adelaide In 1980, months after his unsuccessful competition entries for the Australian Parliament House and the Hong Kong Shanghai Bank headquarters, Harry Seidler entered into collaboration with Malaysian architect Hijjas (bin) Kasturi that proved much more fruitful. Their design for an office building for Laylian Realty in Kuala Lumpur was a departure from Seidler’s quadrant geometries of the previous decade, introducing a sinuous “S” profile that would define his subsequent work. Although never realised, Kenneth Frampton has described this project as a “canonical work” that was the “basic prototype for a new generation of medium to high-rise commercial structures.” But Seidler’s felicitous collaboration with Hijjas was evidently more than just circumstantial, arising from a longer term relationship that is part of a larger story of Australian-Asian exchange.

He and wife Beatrice (1885?-1978) moved into Villa Maria in 1920 and developed a fine garden. In 1929 they moved to a new house, Santos, at 11 Yosefa Ave. “Mr Aley, the architect, and incidentally the owner, has planned both house and garden with the utmost care, so that each should combine to make a delightful whole. The irregular shape and sloping nature of the ground presented many difficulties, but at the same time abounded with possibilities, of which he has taken full advantage. The most important thing, in a house of this sort, and indeed in any house, is aspect, and here it is just right.

  • Mr Harry Seidler AC OBE
    Mr Harry Seidler AC OBE The degree of Doctor of Science in Architecture (honoris causa) was conferred upon Harry Seidler at the Architecture ceremony held on 6 April 2000. Citation Chancellor I have the honour to present to you Harry Seidler for admission to the degree of Doctor of Science in Architecture, honoris causa. Harry Seidler was born in Vienna in 1923 and migrated to Britain when Austria was invaded shortly before the Second World War. In 1939, he was sent with other Germans and Austrians to Canada where he was admitted to study Architecture at the University of Manitoba. He graduated in 1944 and was accepted by the Harvard Graduate School of Design to do post-graduate work with Walter Gropius and Marcel Breuer. Later he spent some time with the painter Joseph Albers at Black Mountain College, North Carolina, and subsequently worked with Breuer in New York. He was also, for a brief time, with Oscar Niemeyer in Rio. In 1948, he came to Sydney, and in 1951, won the Sir John Sulman Medal for the first house he built in Australia, the Rose Seidler House at Turramurra. Seidler was exceptionally fortunate in his outstanding teachers, and his youthful international experience. Both influences made him sensitive to cultural differences, and throughout his career as an international architect, his buildings have acknowledged these. In his early years in Sydney, domestic architecture was his main preoccupation. He built houses and high rise apartment blocks in many Sydney suburbs, all of which are recognizable by their strong structural features. In 1960, Seidler began to work with the Italian engineer Pier Luigi Nervi, on the cylindrical tower for Australia Square.
