    LSAA 2000 AUCKLAND STRUCTURAL EXPRESSION INARCHITECTURE Harry Street Design Director at Creative Spaces Ltd Abstract A personal view of how structure can be employed to create exciting and memorable buildings. Commencing with the English 'Hi Tech' architects, the influence of Philip Cox and work at Creative Spaces the address will illustrate with the aid of slides how structural concepts, their expression and how they are detailed can generate a vibrant interesting architecture. Introduction Expressing the structure in buildings, making it evident how they stand up, has been a legitimate, although perhaps not always intentional, form of architectural expression since time immemorial. There can be no doubt about how the roof of the Parthenon on the acropolis was held up. This was probably not the designer's main motivation when considering the buildings aesthetics, nor indeed the primary motivation of many others over the centuries. Nevertheless the structure is there for us to appreciate in this and in many other examples. The English Experience My own understanding of this was slow in dawning, but following my formal training and during my O.E. Iwas attracted to the exciting architecture of the English architects of the 70's where structural expression was a key ingredient of the so-called "Hi Tech" aesthetic. The most memorable buildings of this period included: The Centre Pompidou where everything is expressed, nothing hidden, all in its right place and very ordered through the use of strong colour The Willis Faber Dumas building in Ipswich is a far less exuberant example of the style. Nevertheless the relatively conventional concrete structure of round columns and waffle slab is plainly evident.

  • AN AUSTRALIAN ARCHITECTURAL SAGA This Draft Summary Clarifies A
    AN AUSTRALIAN ARCHITECTURAL SAGA This draft summary clarifies a 60 year political saga in Australian architectural politics, beginning with the arrival in Sydney of Harry Seidler in 1948 and continuing via his widow Penelope and her supporters after Seidler’s death in 2006. The angle for this version of the saga focuses on architectural politics around author Davina Jackson’s corruptly failed PhD thesis on Seidler’s main early rival in Sydney, Douglas Snelling. An earlier version of this text has been submitted to the Victorian Ombudsman, the NSW Board of Architects, and other relevant government agencies. It also has been circulated to key leaders of Australia’s architectural culture (including Michael Bryce at the Governor General’s Office) – with no questioning of the facts or interpretations. Three lawyers have seen this text and while one advises ‘this saga is so shocking it can never be officially admitted’, the facts have been so comprehensively recorded, circulated and witnessed, there is no realistic potential for the Seidlers, or other named protagonists, to deny their roles either. ......... In the age of the leak and the blog, of evidence extraction and link discovery, truths will either out or be outed, later if not sooner. This is something I would bring to the attention of every diplomat, politician and corporate leader: The future, eventually, will find you out. The future, wielding unimaginable tools of transparency, will have its way with you. In the end, you will be seen to have done that which you did. —William Gibson. 2003. ‘The Road to Oceania’ in The New York Times, June.

  • Constructing a Modern Architectural Identity in Rural Queensland
    The Distance between Myth and Reality: Constructing a Modern Architectural Identity in Rural Queensland Elizabeth Musgrave University of Queensland From the 1960s, the projection of an Australian architectural identity, nationally and internationally, drew from myths surrounding white settlement and centred on the settler homestead in its rural setting—notwithstanding the facts of a highly urbanised population and an increasingly pluralist architectural setting. This paper will reflect on the distance that opens up for the architect between architectural intentions linked to faithfully reconstructing images of identity and the facts of the individual architecture project. It will address these issues by introducing one project, “Morocco” (1963), a house for Stan and Noela Wippell, located on the floodplain of the Balonne River in the western Darling Downs, Queensland. The paper will then compare “Morocco” with contemporaneous and subsequent , edited , edited architecturally design homesteads by the architect, John Dalton, as well as other Australian architects. By 1963, Dalton had built a series of homestead “style” houses in the dry, sclerophyll forested suburbs of west Brisbane. However, “Morocco” required the homestead “style” be negotiated with the reality of the “outback.” The gap between romantic myth and the reality of station-life manifested itself in very , Distance Looks Back Proceedings of the Society of Proceedings of the Society of 36 prosaic matters. The proposed paper will address literal and figurative distance; the distance between the ideal image and particular circumstance; and between myth and fact: the glamorisation of the bush myth and the problems brought about by remoteness. It reveals that mythologies of settlement provided a wealth of material for grounding paradigms in a specific place.

ETH Library Architects on the Verge: Distance in Proximity at “The Pleasures of Architecture” Janina Gosseye ETH Zurich Donald Watson University of Queensland Between May 23 and 26, 1980, the New South Wales chapter of the Royal Australian Institute of Architects held a conference in Sydney, entitled “The Pleasures of Architecture.” International guests invited to speak at this conference were Michael Graves, George Baird and Rem Koolhaas. To feed the discussion, the conference organisers invited twenty prominent Australian architects to submit a design to fictionally complete Engehurst, an 1830s villa in Paddington (Sydney) originally designed by architect John Verge, which was never completed and of which only a fragment still existed. All schemes were presented in an exhibition that took place in parallel with the conference. The proposed projects were published in full in the April/May 1980 issue of Architecture Australia and were remarkably diverse in their conceptual approach to the completion of Verge’s villa.

  • ICOMOS Heritage Alert Template
    ISC20C HERITAGE ALERT TEMPLATE ICOMOS International Scientific Committee on 20th Century Heritage dd DARLING HARBOUR – A Place for People 9 May 2013 (revision A) EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Sydney’s Darling Harbour Precinct, built for the 1988 Australian Bi-Centennial Celebration is currently under threat from a government plan to redevelop a large part of the area for commercial and residential development. The NSW Government Development Proposal SSD57521 for ‘Sydney International Convention, Exhibition & Entertainment Precinct’ (SICEEP) outlines the redevelopment of the convention centre, exhibition centre, entertainment facilities and associated public domain works. In addition the Sydney Entertainment Centre is to be demolished. The site slated for demolition and redevelopment has significant 20th century heritage values. It includes the Sydney Exhibition and Convention Centre complex and the waterfront public urban parkland known as Tumbalong Park incorporating an ‘Urban Stream’ and significant landscaping. The Waterfront Promenade incorporating a Spiral Water Feature and Chinese Garden of Friendship are being retained in the SICEEP scheme. Darling Harbour incorporates some statutory heritage items. They are the Pyrmont Bridge, Hydraulic Pumping Station No. 1, a Carousel and various listed archaeological areas including the Darling Harbour Rail Corridor. The Australian Bicentennial buildings are fine examples of Twentieth Century modern Australian architecture. Darling Harbour’s 56-hectare precinct2, managed until 2012 by the Sydney Harbour Foreshore Authority (SHFA) for the NSW Government agency, State Property, was one of the biggest urban redevelopments to be undertaken in Australia, heralding a new era for urban design of public landscape. The scale of the proposed ‘Sydney International Convention Centre, Exhibition & Entertainment Precinct’ redevelopment is much larger than the existing development and will overwhelm the surviving 19th century historic buildings in the area and significantly compromise and reduce the harbourside landscape setting.

  • Creating Home in Urban Australia
    CREATING HOME IN URBAN AUSTRALIA THE ROLE OF SITE, SPACE AND FORM By Jillian W alliss ( B. L. Arch. ) Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Design University of Tasmania ( May 1996 ) This thesis contains no material which has been accepted for a degree or diploma by the University of Tasmania or any other institution, except by way of background information and duly acknowledged in the thesis, and to the best of the Candidate's knowledge and belief no material previously published or written by another person except where due acknowledgment is made in the text of the thesis. This thesis may be made available for loan. Copying of any part of this thesis is prohibited for two years from the date this statement was signed; after that time limited copying is permitted in accordance with the Copyright Act of 1968. ABSTRACT Environmental concerns, together with increasing development costs have created the need for urban housing which can provide an alternative to the popular, but low density detached house. Coaxing Australians into denser housing, however, is proving a difficult task, particularly as many regard the detached house as the ideal home. The concept of home is extremely complex, incorporating many physical, social and psychological factors. However, attempting to understand and incorporate these attributes into the development of denser housing will surely produce a greater acceptance of urban housing in Australian cities. This approach must be preferable to simply insisting that Australians modify their lifestyles and values in order to accept urban housing. This thesis will explore one important component of housing design - spatial organisation, in order to establish its role and importance in creating home in Australia.

The two buildings are very good examples of the Late Twentieth-Century Structuralist Style (1960- ), with their compression masts and cable stays (both buildings), the GIO Stadium Canberra’s reinforced concrete supporting structure and cantilevered concrete beams, and the AIS Arena’s internal triangular steel supports to the roof. The stadium and arena are important for the technical achievements of their complex structural systems. The architect Philip Cox has played a significant role in Australia’s cultural history. He is one of Australia’s most important architects of the late twentieth century.
