    Attachment A Report Prepared by External Planning Consultant 3 Recommendation It is resolved that consent be granted to Development Application D/2017/1652, subject to the following: (A) the variation sought to Clause 6.19 Overshadowing of certain public places in accordance with Clause 4.6 'Exceptions to development standards' of the Sydney Local Environmental Plan 2012 be supported in this instance; and (B) the requirement under Clause 6.21 of the Sydney Local Environmental Plan 2012 requiring a competitive design process be waived in this instance; and (C) the requirement under Clause 7.20 of the Sydney Local Environmental Plan 2012 requiring the preparation of a development control plan be waived in this instance; Reasons for Recommendation The reasons for the recommendation are as follows: (A) The proposal, subject to recommended conditions, is consistent with the objectives of the planning controls for the site and is compatible with the character of the area into which it will be inserted. It will provide a new unique element in the public domain which has been specifically designed to highlight Sydney’s main boulevard and the important civic precinct of Town Hall and the Queen Victoria Building. (B) The proposed artwork is permissible on the subject land and complies with all relevant planning controls with the exception of overshadowing of Sydney Town Hall steps. While the proposal will result in some additional shadowing of the steps this impact will be minor and is outweighed by the positive impacts of the proposal. (C) The proposal is of a nature compatible with the overall function of the locality as a civic precinct in the heart of the Sydney CBD.

Tasmania . 170 Chapter 1: Introduction In Australia there are four Catholic cathedrals designed in the Romanesque style (Canberra, Newcastle, Port Pirie and Geraldton) and one Anglican cathedral (Parramatta). 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.

They will see that it too pos- sesses talent, the equal of the best endowed.” What kind of scorn had Modena experienced? In 1611 Thomas Coryat published a book about his impressions of Venice. He referred to the sing- ing in the synagogue as “exceeding loud yelling, indecent roar- ing, and as it were a beastly bellowing.” What was the basis for Modena’s optimism? “There has arisen in Israel, thank God, a very talented man, versed in the singer’s skill, who has performed music before princes, yea, dukes and nobles. He set the words of the psalms to music or- ganized in harmony, designating them for joyous song before the Ark.” Salamone Rossi, That man was the Jewish composer Salamone Rossi, who, the Mystery Man of Jewish Art Music Composers in 1622, produced the first book of its kind: a stunning setting by Don Harrán 5 of the synagogue service. “He is more talented than any other Rabbis, Politics, and Music: man, not only those of our own people, for he has been com- Leon Modena and Salamone Rossi pared with, and considered the equal of, many of the famous by Howard Tzvi Adelman 8 men of yesterday among the families of the earth.” Lord & Tailor: As we listen to Rossi’s music we become aware of the ex- Fashioning Images of Jews in Renaissance Italy traordinary accomplishments of the Jews in Renaissance Italy.

  • Modern Movement Architecture in Central Sydney Heritage Study Review Modern Movement Architecture in Central Sydney Heritage Study Review
    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.

  • Creative Arts Space in Hong Kong: Three Tales Through the Lens of Cultural Capital
    c Creative Arts Space in Hong Kong: Three Tales through the lens of Cultural Capital Hoi Ling Anne CHAN (0000-0002-8356-8069) A Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy In Faculty of Architecture, Building and Planning University of Melbourne February 2019 [Intended to leave blank] i Abstract The fact that culture and creativity are often instrumentalised in urban regeneration and/or development points to a pragmatic relationship between culture and the city. Hong Kong, like many post-colonial and post-industrial cities, faced challenges in economic restructuring and in the search of a new identity. Thus, culture came to the centre of the stage in the formulation of development strategies and started to accumulate cultural assets. The accumulation of cultural assets led to the emergence of various forms of cultural assets such as cultural district, infrastructure, projects in order to achieve various aims. However, most of the existing research focused on large-scale flagship projects from an economic or strategic perspective. A holistic understanding of those cultural projects is limited in the literature especially for the small-scale cultural projects. This research examines how the creative arts spaces interact with the host city, Hong Kong through the lens of cultural capital. Three creative arts spaces with different management models are chosen as case studies. Data were collected through field investigation and key informant interviews as well as from secondary sources such as archives and media. The data collected are analysed by executing thematic analysis procedures. The findings reveal that creative arts spaces are different from large-scale flagship projects in their relations to cities.
