  • Concrete: a Western Australian Tradition
    Concrete: A Western Australian tradition Andrew Murray University of Melbourne Abstract In 1961, The Hale School Memorial Hall was completed in Perth, Western Australia. While Jennifer Taylor credits the building with the introduction of béton brut into Australia she also described the building as a “strangely isolated example”, not joined by a similar work until the completion of the Social Sciences Building at Flinders University, Adelaide in 1969. Yet in the period between these two buildings Australia saw a wide range of béton brut experiments carried out which laid the ground work for the materials widespread acceptance in the 1970s. This paper contends that rather than being an isolated example the Hale School Memorial Hall spurred on a wave of béton brut buildings in Western Australia throughout the 1960s, constituting what could be considered a regional tradition. Ian Molyneux has previously identified the key role that concrete played in Western Australia during this period, suggesting that it is the use of concrete, particularly off- form concrete, which constitutes the most visible and significant contribution that Western Australia made to contemporary Australian architecture. However, to date this contribution has received little scholarly attention. This paper then sets out to chart a nascent history of béton brut buildings in the 1960s in Western Australia. It examines a decade of material and formal experimentation looking particularly at the key role that recent graduates, publications, and the construction industry played in the formation of this tradition. 378 Introduction Jennifer Taylor wrote in Australian Architecture since 1960 on the introduction of béton brut concrete into Australia.

  • A Search for Understanding: the Architecture of R.J. Ferguson
    A Search for Understanding: The Architecture of R.J. Ferguson. Andrew Marshall Murray ORCID: 0000-0002-6199-8666 Submitted in total fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of: Master of Philosophy January 2018 Melbourne School of Design. Faculty of Architecture, Building and Planning. The University of Melbourne 1 Abstract. This thesis is an historical study examining the work of Western Australian architect Ronald Jack (Gus) Ferguson (1931-). It argues that the regional practice of R.J Ferguson was one developed out of a global postwar “anxiety” over the role of architecture in a rapidly changing world, and is the result of a complex interplay of geo-political factors specific to Western Australia. Following an extensive tour of Africa, Europe and Asia between 1957 and 1960, Ferguson set out on what he termed a “search for architectural understanding”: seeking out lessons and principles drawn from a variety of traditional architectural practices as a way to mediate this anxiety. Motivated by Perth’s geographic isolation, Ferguson’s search involved extensive travel, research and application, resulting in a practice that relied on evolving relationships between regional and global traditions. Through an exploration of Ferguson’s work between 1960 and 1975, this study contributes to a better understanding of the conditions which directly affected his practice, including geography, harsh climatic conditions, an active local discourse, and the pragmatics of construction. The thesis explores three key campus projects: the Hale School Memorial Hall (1961); The University of Western Australia campus buildings, including the Law School (1967), the Sports Centre (1970), and the Student Guild (1972); and Murdoch University, Stage One (1975).

  • EDNIE-BROWN Colin Wilshire
    Colin Ednie-Brown c.1930 (SLWA 006999D cropped) Colin Wilshire Ednie-Brown (1894-1960) was born 4 November 1894 at Strathfield, NSW. Colin’s grandfather had occupied ‘the position of a doctor of forestry in the old world’, and Colin’s father, John, was also educated in forestry, at Edinburgh, Scotland. John was recruited at a young age as the Conservator of Forests in Canada, then moved to the same position in South Australia, on to New South Wales, and from 1895 was Conservator of Forests in Western Australia. Unfortunately John died aged only 49 at his Forrest Street, Cottesloe residence Homebush in October 1899, leaving wife Bertha Amelia and three young children - son Ken, daughter Glen and Colin, not yet five years old. Fremantle based architect Frederick William Burwell called tenders for a new residence at Davies Road, Claremont for Mrs Ednie-Brown in February 1902, and it appears the young family resided there for a number of years. With the connection to Scotland from his father, it is not surprising to find that the earliest family record of Colin’s tertiary education was at the University of Edinburgh - where it is noted as his having successfully studied ‘Botany – Lectures and Practical’ in the academic year 1913–1914. The First World War of 1914-1918 interrupted Colin’s forestry studies and he sought to enlist, but was rejected for active service as being medically unfit, although the Ednie-Brown family has general service medals indicating that he was involved in war efforts. His architectural ambitions appear to first emerge when, writing from his mother’s West Perth address late in 1918, he enquired of the Chamber of Commerce, San Francisco, as to the opportunities for an architectural education in California.

  • John Stuart Coll (1926-2016) Was Born 11
    1 Stuart Coll at St George’s Terrace, Perth in 1949 (Stuart Coll jnr) John Stuart Coll (1926-2016) was born 11 June 1926 at 11 Gresham Street in Victoria Park, to parents of Scottish (Glasgow) origins William and Elizabeth (nee Kirwan) Coll, later living at 45 Gresham Street. The Colls had emigrated to Australia and initially attempted farming in the south-west of WA, before moving to suburban Perth where Bill Coll worked as a blacksmith, then a fireman, and Elizabeth was a seamstress. Stuart, as he was known, had two sisters - Elizabeth (b.1924), and Patricia (b.1929). From these modest origins he went to primary school at East Victoria Park, and then on to Perth Modern School. Stuart attempted to sign-up for Second World War (1939-1945) service after he turned eighteen, but was refused, and he initially had thoughts of pursuing a teaching career. Instead, the nineteen year old elected to enrol in the newly- founded (1946) five year architecture course at Perth Technical College (PTC), whilst enjoying a cadetship with the WA Public Works Department (PWD). Prior to the Second World War, architectural students who did not receive academic training overseas or in other States, had been obliged to train in WA under a system of indenture to individual architects. The products of this system of architectural education were trained rather than educated and clearly bore the marks of the architect who trained them. During the war it could be foreseen that great demands would be placed on the building industry when peace eventuated, and in 1946 William (Bill) Robertson (with Arnold Camerer) inaugurated the first academic architectural course at PTC.

  • PITT MORISON Margaret Lillian
    Margaret Pitt Morison (The West Australian , 17 May 1929, p.6; The Western Mail , 9 April 1936, p.28) Margaret Lillian Pitt Morison (1900-1985) was born 3 December 1900 at Morriston , 18 Cecil Street, off Lincoln Street, North Perth, child of George Pitt Morison and Frances Margaret nee Somner, who had married in 1899. The Pitt portion of the name came from George’s mother’s side. George was born in Victoria, but when he first arrived in Western Australia after having studied art in France and Spain, obtained employment as a draftsman at the Lands Department. In line with his vocational aspirations, George was appointed an assistant-director at the Art Gallery, Perth in 1906 and from 1915-1942 was curator of the Art Gallery of Western Australia. Margaret’s younger brothers, Donald Somner Morison and Bernard Seton Morison were born in 1903 and 1906, and did not adopt the use of the Pitt portion of their father’s name. Margaret was educated at the Girls’ High School, overlooking the Swan River at Claremont (the school moved and become St Hilda’s, Mosman Park in 1930) and Perth Modern School. Unable to pursue her early interest in medicine as there was no medical school in Perth, Margaret began working as a secretary for Professor Hubert Whitfield at the University of Western Australia, until Reginald Summerhayes suggested she consider architecture. She became articled to Reg’s father Edwin, although it took considerable persuasion by her father for Morison to be accepted as a student. She said ‘it wasn’t conceived that a girl would want to take up architecture’ in those days.

  • Absence and Presence: a Historiography of Early Women Architects in New South Wales
    ABSENCE AND PRESENCE: A HISTORIOGRAPHY OF EARLY WOMEN ARCHITECTS IN NEW SOUTH WALES Bronwyn J. Hanna Faculty of the Built Environment University of New South Wales 1999 A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy ABSTRACT Women architects are effectively absent from architectural history in Australia. Consulting first the archival record, this thesis establishes the presence of 230 women architects qualified and/or practising in NSW between 1900 and 1960. It then analyses some of these early women architects’ achievements and difficulties in the profession, drawing on interviews with 70 practitioners or their friends and family. Finally it offers brief biographical accounts of eight leading early women architects, arguing that their achievements deserve more widespread historical attention in an adjusted canon of architectural merit. There are also 152 illustrations evidencing their design contributions. Thus the research draws on quantitative, qualitative, biographical and visual modes of representation in establishing a historical presence for these early women architects. The thesis forms part of the widespread political project of feminist historical recovery of women forebears, while also interrogating the ends and means of such historiography. The various threads describing women’s absence and presence in the architectural profession are woven together throughout the thesis using three feminist approaches which sometimes harmonise and sometimes debate with each other. Described as “liberal
