[…] The Plaza is to be a monument to Sydney’s 200 years; but not a monument in the pompous sense. It should give us pride, and yet fill us with shame; make us laugh and yet fill us with sorrow, allow us to be, and relax and yet provoke us with new insights and enable us to marvel at the beauty, and the chaos of the city.’ – image and text from Hollo’s competition entry, Quay Visions (CAA/RAIA, 1983) Architecture Bulletin acknowledges the Gadigal people of the Eora Nation, the traditional owners of the land and waters upon which the Sydney CBD and Circular Quay stands.

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.

  • Corridor Estates
    Corridor Estates In the 1970s, the Commission also developed a number of smaller estates along the Liverpool – Campbelltown corridor at suburbs including Macquarie Fields, Airds, Minto and Claymore. The development of these so called ‘corridor estates’ coincided with a general move away from developing the large-scale, low density estates that typified the 1950s and 60s; focus was placed instead on the development of medium density suburbs utilising the townhouses typology first used at Mount Druitt. Figure 97 – Proposals for the Macquarie Fields ‘corridor estate’, dated 1970-71 Source: The Housing Commission of New South Wales Annual Report, 1970-71, p. 24. These estates, the first being Macquarie Fields, were characterised by a smaller overall area of development, a high percentage of townhouses, and the use of the ‘Radburn’ style layout. During this time, townhouses in the ‘Radburn’ layout were also incorporated into some of the older neighbourhood estates, including Windale. URBIS SSP_WATERLOOMETROQUARTER_HERITAGEIMPACTSTATEMENT_FINAL APPENDICES (UPDATED) Micro-Estates The 1980s saw further evolution of the ‘public housing estate’ as conceived and developed from the 1940s onwards, with the Commission deciding in 1975, for the first time, to redevelop parts of its own housing stock. The principal example of this was the introduction of a micro-estate in to the established public housing at Villawood/East Fairfield; a number of earlier fibro cottages were demolished to make way for a ‘micro-estate’ planned in the ‘Radburn’ style. The cottages set on a conventional street grid were replaced with townhouses and maisonettes that faced away from the streets, had common driveways, and small private streets.

  • 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.
