  • 'Fitted for Sacred Use' Vatican II and Modernism in the Physical, Social
    QUOTATION: What does history have in store for architecture today? ‘Fitted for Sacred Use’ Vatican II and Modernism in the physical, social and ritual space of three Australian churches Ursula de Jong Deakin University Flavia Marcello Swinburne University of Technology Abstract The liturgical reforms of Vatican II proclaimed the Mass as ‘source and summit of Christian life’ and encouraged the ‘full, conscious and active participation’ of all in the Eucharistic celebration. It had major implications for liturgical space in existing churches and the design of new ones and impacted the physical, social and ritual spaces in Australian Catholic churches. It also threatened the integrity of the Church’s cultural patrimony – both in its artistic objects and in the gestural practices of the faithful. The call for change occurred in the 1960s and aligned loosely with the continued quotation of Modernist principles that followed the precepts of pure form and structure and/or quoted a more organicist approach. In both cases, it seemed that history was to be discarded and tradition eschewed but at the same time there was an interweaving between evolving interpretations of post war Modernism and liturgical reform. By analysing and decoding Wardell’s St Patrick’s in Melbourne, Giurgola’s St Patrick’s in Parramatta and Taglietti’s St Anthony’s in Marsfield we tease out inherent tensions in how space is designed and built, how it is expected to be used, and how it is actually experienced. Our examples bring sharply into focus the issues arising from the re-shaping and reconfiguring of liturgical space in existing churches, and highlight the freedom given to architects in the design of new spaces, all ‘fitted for sacred use’.

  • Romaldo Giurgola AO
    Romaldo Giurgola AO a speech in presentation of Romaldo Giurgola AO for the degree of Doctor of the University of Canberra honoris causa 2 May 1997 by Professor Don Aitkin Vice-Chancellor, University of Canberra Chancellor, I present to you Romaldo Giurgola, architect, designer, urban planner, consultant to universities, philosopher and friend of the University of Canberra, on whom the University is pleased to bestow the honorary degree of Doctor of the University. I do so in the major setting of the major building of his career, the Great Hall of the Parliament of Australia. But I could have done so with no less justice on our own campus, for there he has been responsible for three of our buildings, for the reshaping of the room in which the Council of the University meets, and for much of the look of the campus. Wherever he works (and he works all over the world) and whatever the work is (and he works across the whole field of architecture) his work has a quality and a validity which is unmistakable. We are fortunate that his career brought him to our country and to our campus. But he is not in any sense a stranger to universities. Born in Rome, and a graduate in architecture of the University of Rome, he won a Fulbright Fellowship and studied at Columbia University in New York and taught at Cornell and at the University of Pennsylvania. In 1969 he was appointed to the Ware Professorship of Architecture at Columbia. By that time he had become a famous architect in partnership with Ehrman Mitchell, and the partnership has completed work for sixteen major universities in the USA.

  • 3.3 FRITH, Past Exchanges
    Stephen Frith, Past exchanges in the work of Romaldo Giurgola in Australia STEPHEN FRITH Past exchanges in the work of Romaldo Giurgola in Australia On the occasion of his ninetieth birthday ABSTRACT Romaldo Giurgola brought to the design of the New Parliament House in Canberra, Australia several nuanced exchanges within the European tradition he inherited from an education in Rome, and from a long experience of making architecture in the USA and in Sweden. The vehicle for these exchanges is firstly through what Giurgola describes as an ‘itinerary’, or a structured narrative thread. Giurgola also writes of the ‘constants’ that inform his work, of the rhetorical structures of his architecture. In the early 1980s, one of Giurgola’s most significant projects was the Volvo Headquarters in Sweden. When he came to seek a model for the design of the New Parliament House, he was confronted with a new landscape, and without a real precedent for the kind of building he needed to design. He found inspiration in the work in Gothenburg and in the Swedish landscape. This paper explores several of these exchanges observed in Giurgola’s work at New Parliament House, Canberra, especially relating to the development of the building’s art program. Past exchanges in the work of Romaldo Giurgola in Australia Before the opening of the New Parliament House in Canberra, Australia in 1988, Romaldo Giurgola was already engaged on several levels in an exchange of cultural settings, mediating and embodying the past in his work. These settings are in part a reflection of the global nature of his enterprise, with staff and clients from many different parts of the world.

As those studies proceeded two important questions or observations emerged. Why was so little known of this important architect, and why was he not accorded a proper position in the history of architecture, American or Australian? Over succeeding years the first question has been answered by people similarly concerned: Mark L. Peisch, H. Allen Brooks, W. R. Hasbrouck, Paul E. Sprague, D. T.
