The initiative was taken up and for the first time the Minister requested the National Trust, the Heritage Council and Lotterywest meet and develop a draft policy. Lotterywest was chosen as they are one of the biggest investors in community heritage and have extensive experience working with the community. The Minister was also familiar with senior officers in Lotterywest.

SAMSON HOUSE ROSES PHILIP PALMER LANDSCAPE ARCHITECT The National Trust held the annual rose pruning day at Samson House in Fremantle in July. The WA Museum was instrumental in replacing many of the original rose bushes that were planted by Sir Frederick Samson in the 1940s prior to the National Trust taking over management of the property in 2010. The root stock was sourced from South Australian nursery that specialises in heritage roses. Over the past three years volunteers have assisted the National Trust in pruning more than 100 rose bushes on site. This year’s Rose Pruning Day at Samson House attracted 16 participants. Those attending were treated to a tour of the house and then a practical demonstration of rose pruning techniques. Following the demonstration, experts and amateurs alike made short work of pruning the roses before enjoying a well-deserved afternoon tea.

Introduction THE INVENTORY The Metropolitan Redevelopment Authority (the MRA) is responsible for the urban renewal of the Central Perth Redevelopment Area (the Redevelopment Area) and proposes to recognise and afford protective measures to those places that have cultural heritage significance. The Central Perth Redevelopment Scheme (the Scheme) empowers the MRA to compile and maintain a list of Heritage Places and Precincts, called a Heritage Inventory (HI). The Central Perth HI has been developed in accordance with the provisions of the Heritage of Western Australia Act 1990, which requires all Local Governments to compile an inventory of heritage places as the foundation of sound local heritage planning. As MRA assumes responsibility as the planning authority within the Redevelopment Area, the MRA is acknowledging its role and responsibilities in “recognising, promoting and protecting” the cultural heritage that falls under its jurisdiction, as articulated in the State Cultural Heritage Policy.

  • Concrete: a Western Australian Tradition
    Concrete: A Western Australian tradition Andrew Murray University of Melbourne Abstract In 1961, The Hale School Memorial Hall was completed in Perth, Western Australia. While Jennifer Taylor credits the building with the introduction of béton brut into Australia she also described the building as a “strangely isolated example”, not joined by a similar work until the completion of the Social Sciences Building at Flinders University, Adelaide in 1969. Yet in the period between these two buildings Australia saw a wide range of béton brut experiments carried out which laid the ground work for the materials widespread acceptance in the 1970s. This paper contends that rather than being an isolated example the Hale School Memorial Hall spurred on a wave of béton brut buildings in Western Australia throughout the 1960s, constituting what could be considered a regional tradition. Ian Molyneux has previously identified the key role that concrete played in Western Australia during this period, suggesting that it is the use of concrete, particularly off- form concrete, which constitutes the most visible and significant contribution that Western Australia made to contemporary Australian architecture. However, to date this contribution has received little scholarly attention. This paper then sets out to chart a nascent history of béton brut buildings in the 1960s in Western Australia. It examines a decade of material and formal experimentation looking particularly at the key role that recent graduates, publications, and the construction industry played in the formation of this tradition. 378 Introduction Jennifer Taylor wrote in Australian Architecture since 1960 on the introduction of béton brut concrete into Australia.

The place has been assessed by the Australian Heritage Commission and entered in the Register of the National Estate. The following statement of significance is attributed to it: This building was designed on classical lines and is an excellent example of that era. The three main facades are carried out in dressed Donnybrook stone; these are well detailed and demonstrate a high standard of workmanship.

Australian Romanesque: An Overview . 25 4. New South Wales and the Australian Capital Territory . 52 5. Victoria . 92 6. Queensland . 122 7. Western Australia . 138 8. South Australia . 156 9. Tasmania . 170 Chapter 1: Introduction In Australia there are four Catholic cathedrals designed in the Romanesque style (Canberra, Newcastle, Port Pirie and Geraldton) and one Anglican cathedral (Parramatta). These buildings are significant in their local communities, but the numbers of people who visit them each year are minuscule when compared with the numbers visiting Australia's most famous Romanesque building, the large Sydney retail complex known as the Queen Victoria Building. God and Mammon, and the Romanesque serves them both. Do those who come to pray in the cathedrals, and those who come to shop in the galleries of the QVB, take much notice of the architecture? Probably not, and yet the Romanesque is a style of considerable character, with a history stretching back to Antiquity. It was never extensively used in Australia, but there are nonetheless hundreds of buildings in the Romanesque style still standing in Australia's towns and cities. Perhaps it is time to start looking more closely at these buildings? They will not disappoint. The heyday of the Australian Romanesque occurred in the fifty years between 1890 and 1940, and it was largely a brick-based style. As it happens, those years also marked the zenith of craft brickwork in Australia, because it was only in the late nineteenth century that Australia began to produce high-quality, durable bricks in a wide range of colours.

  • A Search for Understanding: the Architecture of R.J. Ferguson
    A Search for Understanding: The Architecture of R.J. Ferguson. Andrew Marshall Murray ORCID: 0000-0002-6199-8666 Submitted in total fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of: Master of Philosophy January 2018 Melbourne School of Design. Faculty of Architecture, Building and Planning. The University of Melbourne 1 Abstract. This thesis is an historical study examining the work of Western Australian architect Ronald Jack (Gus) Ferguson (1931-). It argues that the regional practice of R.J Ferguson was one developed out of a global postwar “anxiety” over the role of architecture in a rapidly changing world, and is the result of a complex interplay of geo-political factors specific to Western Australia. Following an extensive tour of Africa, Europe and Asia between 1957 and 1960, Ferguson set out on what he termed a “search for architectural understanding”: seeking out lessons and principles drawn from a variety of traditional architectural practices as a way to mediate this anxiety. Motivated by Perth’s geographic isolation, Ferguson’s search involved extensive travel, research and application, resulting in a practice that relied on evolving relationships between regional and global traditions. Through an exploration of Ferguson’s work between 1960 and 1975, this study contributes to a better understanding of the conditions which directly affected his practice, including geography, harsh climatic conditions, an active local discourse, and the pragmatics of construction. The thesis explores three key campus projects: the Hale School Memorial Hall (1961); The University of Western Australia campus buildings, including the Law School (1967), the Sports Centre (1970), and the Student Guild (1972); and Murdoch University, Stage One (1975).

    1 A.E. Clare (AIA WA) Albert Ernest (Paddy) Clare (1894-1975) was born 5 December 1894 at Melbourne Road (now Milligan Street) in Perth. His parents were laborer Edward Major and Alice Selina (nee Valentine) Clare. Albert Clare attended Perth Boys School. He joined the Public Service as a messenger in the Lands Department, and commenced with the Public Works Department (PWD) as a junior draftsman in July 1912, under Chief Architect Hillson Beasley. Drawing titled “Application Drawing for admission to the Western Australian Public Service’ c.1910, in album presented to Clare by PWD staff at his retirement in 1960 (Bill Clare) Albert Ernest Clare by Dr John J. Taylor December 2018 2 Albert enlisted for First World War service within the Australian Imperial Forces (AIF) in late 1915, with his next-of-kin listed as his father at 14 Newcastle Street, Perth. Clare embarked on HMAT Borda A30 at Fremantle in January 1916, proceeding via Egypt to the Western Front. Wounded in action during mid-1916, Clare returned to his 51st Battalion of the AIF, and perhaps somewhat fortunately given the awful losses, was captured by the Germans in the savage September 1916 confrontation at Mouquet Farm on the Somme. Imprisoned at Dülmen and then Munster in Germany, family stories recall that Clare was able to undertake further architectural studies in his confinement - with the aid of books provided by the Red Cross. Following the end of the war in Europe, Clare was repatriated to Hull, England during December 1918. He returned to Australia 5 March 1919, and would have been warmly welcomed back into the PWD.

  • WB Hardwick William Burden Hardwick (1860-1941)
    W.B. Hardwick (www.mundia.com; Daily News, 3 June 1929, P.6) William Burden Hardwick (1860-1941) was born at Rylstone, 240 km north- west of Sydney in NSW, the son of Rebecca (née White) and John William Hardwick (1826-1891). John had migrated to Australia in 1852, establishing a general store in Rylstone and marrying in 1856. William was the third of ten children, and in 1873 he commenced senior education in Sydney, as a boarding student of Newington College. Older brothers George and Edward had started there as boarders two years earlier. After leaving school, Hardwick served his architectural articles within private practice in Victoria. Hardwick moved back to NSW in his twenties, as he displayed a ‘plan of a Gothic cottage, a panel of Gothic tracery, and a model of hand railing’ at the Goulburn Technical School in late 1886. In January 1887 the Technical School announced that ‘A new class of considerable practical importance is now in course of formation …, that of Architectural planning and designing. We understand that twelve students have already signified their intention of joining. At a meeting of the Board of Technical Education held on Wednesday last, Mr. W.B. Hardwick was appointed the teacher.’ The teaching role was relatively short-lived, as by November 1889 Hardwick’s office was in Mullany’s Buildings at Katoomba, 100 km west of Sydney. Following the east-coast economic crisis of the early 1890s, Hardwick abandoned his modest practice and moved to seek the greater employment opportunities offered in Western Australia. In 1893 Hardwick came to Perth, and early in 1894 entered the Public Works Department (PWD) as a draughtsman.
