Locally, we also have cause for celebration, delivering our 25th annual DIA SA/NT Design Awards. We celebrate not merely due to this longevity, but FROM because collectively we have been working together over this time making our industry stronger and furthering the understanding and acceptance of design, as a requirement for many things in the greater community. Locally and nationally we have been working on changes for the future within the DIA and with all things, it takes time. Meanwhile we present a survey of wonderful works this year, seeing over 70 entries from a variety of disciplines including many multi skilled designs, crossing boundaries between these disciplines. As an industry I feel we have grown and what may have been illusory boundaries are being dismantled, with practices and individuals taking a larger holistic approach to their works. The Design Institute of Australia continues its THE commitment to celebrating design excellence through our Awards program – along with other initiatives such as Live Design and our GOTYA, Graduate of the Year program – we strive to shine a light on the world class contribution of local designers. Over the past 25 years, many awardees have gone on to win national and international acclaim, engaging a much larger audience than our local community. As a group we now have a much stronger voice in our community. As we look forward we also take this opportunity to look backwards and introduce some of our local icons of design. PR ESIDE N TThank you to everyone whose effort has contributed to our awards and our industry. Thanks also to all those who entered our 25th awards and congratulations to all the recipients of awards.

    _____________________________________________________________________ WOODS BAGOT ARCHITECTS PTY. LTD BRG 18 Preliminary Inventory __________________________________________________________________ Edward Woods (1837-1913) arrived in South Australia during 1860 and began working for the architect Edmund Wright. He helped design the GPO and Town Hall before starting out on his own in 1869; his first commission being St. Peter's Cathedral. By 1884, he had been appointed the colony's Architect-in-chief, and was an inaugural member of the S.A. Institute of Architects formed in 1886. Walter Bagot (1880-1963), a grandson of Henry Ayers and a student of St. Peter's College, became articled to Woods in 1899. He later studied architecture in London before entering into partnership with Woods in 1905. The following year, Bagot assisted with the formation of the first school of architecture in Adelaide, under the auspices of the School of Mines. Herbert Jory, James Irwin and Louis Laybourne-Smith joined the practice as partners in ensuing years; Laybourne-Smith (1880-1965) was also Head of the School of Architecture for 40 years and instrumental in its foundation. Woods Bagot have been a very influential in South Australia, with early emphasis on traditional styles and in ecclesiastical architecture. The firm designed Elder House, the Trustee Building, Bonython Hall, Barr Smith Library, the War Memorial, Carrick Hill and a number of churches in Adelaide and the country. Later commissions included John Martins, the Bank of NSW, CML and Da Costa Buildings, ANZ Bank and the Elizabeth City Centre, while more recent examples include Standard Chartered, Commonwealth Bank, Telecom and Mutual Health buildings.

    Born digital: a symposium exploring digital architectural and built environment records WORKSHOP PRESENTERS AND PRESENTATION SUMMARIES Monday 18 April 2016 Morning Session 9am-12.30pm Venue: Council Room, Hawke Building Level 5 Welcome and Introduction Assoc Prof Christine Garnaut, Director: Architecture Museum, School of Art Architecture and Design, University of South Australia E: [email protected] Archaeology of the Digital and born-digital archives at CCA Tim Walsh, Digital Archivist, Canadian Centre for Architecture, Montreal The last few decades have seen radical changes in the tools, education, and practice of architecture and design. Archaeology of the Digital is part of a multi-year research project launched by the Canadian Centre for Architecture (CCA) to investigate the development and use of computers in architecture, and the first step in the CCA’s strategic objective of creating a collection of digital architecture. The project, spanning a period of three years and including exhibitions, seminars, public programs and publications, has fostered research around two crucial under-addressed topics: how to collect, preserve, and catalogue born-digital architectural archives, and how to make this material accessible to the public and to researchers. Tim Walsh will share details and experiences from the project, and speak to the opportunities and challenges of archiving born-digital files of architecture and design. Tim Walsh is the Digital Archivist at the Canadian Centre for Architecture, an international research centre and museum in Montreal dedicated to the study of architecture as a public concern. He holds an MS in Library and Information Science from Simmons College, where he concluded his studies with a research paper entitled “Preservation and Access of Born-Digital Architectural Design Records in an OAIS-Type Archive,” and a BA in English from the University of Florida.

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.

  • Woods Bagot: Creating Immense Projects on a Human Scale
    MAY 19 MAY ISSUE 35 HAS GREENWASHING STAGNATED SUSTAINABLE DESIGN? WOODS BAGOT: CREATING IMMENSE PROJECTS ON A HUMAN SCALE CAN DESIGN HELP CHANGE A WORKSPACE'S CULTURE? A LOOK AT DENTSU AEGIS NETWORK'S SCHIAVELLO.COM WELLNESS-FOCUSED WORKSPACE PROJECTS PEOPLE DESIGN KNOWLEDGE NEWS CULTURE SCHIAVELLOFURNITURE.COM/AGILE-TABLE Hello. Welcome to Details 35. Since the beginnings of Schiavello over 50 years ago, we have always pushed boundaries, never satisfied with merely meeting the status quo. In property development, construction and furniture, we are constantly asking how we can do more, do better, and excel further than has previously been achieved. This approach is perfectly encapsulated in our company motto, ‘Anything is possible.’ In this issue of the magazine, we explore this practice in a few different ways. On pg. 16, Sara Kirby takes a critical look at greenwashing, how it has stagnated the design industry, and what the future of sustainable design looks like. She explores how we can look past media spin and push to make our future more environmentally sustainable, something that we as a company are deeply invested in. In our profile section (pg. 12), Sandra Tan talks to Grant Boshard of Woods Bagot, a studio that needs no introduction. Together the pair reveals how Woods Bagot has achieved such an enduring legacy – with an answer that is, at least partially, to do with the practice’s open embracing of change and constant questioning of how it can adapt and be better. For Schiavello, we profile Dentsu Aegis Network (DAN) Perth, a project we took on right from the beginning, all the way through to the moment the ribbon was cut on opening day.

  • Art Casualty of Built History – Curator Essay
    1 Art Casualty of Built History Curator Essay by Emily Collins Museum Consultant and Curator with the Women’s and Children’s Health Network Following on from Forgotten Murals of the Adelaide Children’s Hospital (2018), the exhibition Forgotten Murals II: Art Casualty of Built History sketches the life story of another significant large-scale artwork to emerge from the Women’s and Children’s Hospital archives. The work was a Modernist concrete mural relief with raised abstract motifs designed by Reginald Goodman Steele (1911–84), an architect for Woods, Bagot, Laybourne-Smith and Irwin (now the global firm Woods Bagot). Bold in both design and scale, the sculpture inhabited the upper southern façade of the General Purposes Building (GPB) constructed c1962–4 at the old Children’s Hospital in North Adelaide. A mid-century example of Arts in Health, this playful artwork was designed to bring happiness to young patients. It also brightened the days of those who laboured to maintain the built environment to support their healing. There are few known photographs of this artwork. It was difficult to capture in entirety. Its host structure, the low-rise GPB, dwelled in a shadow between the towering chimney of the Hospital’s Boiler House and the 11-storey Outpatients (Clarence Rieger) Building, which it was built to serve. Woods Bagot had been commissioned to design all three structures as part of the same major project. The GPB was charged with housing the Hospital’s electrical transformers, emergency generator, liquid oxygen plant and maintenance workshops. Reginald Steele, creator of the curious mural, was articled to Woods Bagot in the late 1920s while studying at the South Australian (SA) School of Mines and Industries (now the University of South Australia).
