Source: City of Phillip Streets. The cultural significance of the place shaped the development Sydney Model Makers. for the site: the conservation of the archaeological site of First Government . House & the Victorian terrace housing. To satisfy this & the commercial imperatives of maximising tower floor plate areas, the scheme incorporated several innovative approaches. Firstly in the urban design: the conception of First Government House Place as an 'urban room', achieved by setting back the Governor Phillip Tower from Bridge Street, enabled the archaeological site to be conserved, interpreted & celebrated, & served to ennoble the space with the presence of the imposing colonial sandstone buildings to either side; the public link from Phillip Street to Farrer Place, & the setbacks provided to the terraces.

Although the nomination carries the National Trust’s name, in its current form it is very different to the nomination submitted by the National Trust in 2015. It appears to have been considerably re-worded since its receipt by Heritage NSW. The Ultimo Power House is clearly of State-level significance and should be included in the State Heritage Register (SHR), to give it the appropriate level of statutory oversight and protection. However, the National Trust is gravely concerned that, if the Power House were to be listed on the State Heritage Register for the reasons set out in the advertised nomination, then it would be listed for inadequate and poorly stated reasons (even if this were preferable to it not being listed at all). When the National Trust nominated the Ultimo Power House in 2015, we believed that the site involved larger heritage significance issues associated with its operation as part of the Powerhouse Museum. At the time, we had insufficient information to pursue that aspect of its significance.

ISBN-10: 0-9876055-0-X ISBN-13: 978-0-9876055-0-4 Hijjas Kasturi and Harry Seidler in Malaysia Australian-Asian Exchange and the Genesis of a “Canonical Work” Amit Srivastava University of Adelaide In 1980, months after his unsuccessful competition entries for the Australian Parliament House and the Hong Kong Shanghai Bank headquarters, Harry Seidler entered into collaboration with Malaysian architect Hijjas (bin) Kasturi that proved much more fruitful. Their design for an office building for Laylian Realty in Kuala Lumpur was a departure from Seidler’s quadrant geometries of the previous decade, introducing a sinuous “S” profile that would define his subsequent work. Although never realised, Kenneth Frampton has described this project as a “canonical work” that was the “basic prototype for a new generation of medium to high-rise commercial structures.” But Seidler’s felicitous collaboration with Hijjas was evidently more than just circumstantial, arising from a longer term relationship that is part of a larger story of Australian-Asian exchange.

  • MSAA/LSAA Conf Proceedings
    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.

    Attachment B Modern Movement Architecture in Central Sydney Heritage Study Review Modern Movement Architecture in Central Sydney Heritage Study Review Prepared for City of Sydney Issue C x January 2018 Project number 13 0581 Modern Movement in Central Sydney x Heritage Study Review EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This study was undertaken to provide a contextual framework to improve understanding post World War II and Modern Movement architecture and places in Central Sydney, which is a significant and integral component of its architectural heritage. Findings x The study period (1945-1975) was an exciting and challenging era that determined much of the present physical form of Central Sydney and resulted in outstanding architectural and civic accomplishments. x There were an unprecedented number of development projects undertaken during the study period, which resulted in fundamental changes to the physical fabric and character of Central Sydney. x The buildings are an historical record of the changing role of Australia in an international context and Sydney’s new-found role as a major world financial centre. Surviving buildings provide crucial evidence of the economic and social circumstances of the study period. x Surviving buildings record the adaptation of the Modern Movement to local conditions, distinguishing them from Modern Movement buildings in other parts of the world. x The overwhelming preponderance of office buildings, which distinguishes Central Sydney from all other parts of NSW, is offset by the presence of other building typologies such as churches, community buildings and cultural institutions. These often demonstrate architectural accomplishment. x The triumph of humane and rational urban planning can be seen in the creation of pedestrian- friendly areas and civic spaces of great accomplishment such as Australia Square, Martin Place and Sydney Square.

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.

  • 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.
