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.

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.

BOX 217. -· EDITORIAL • A couple of interesting events have occurre during the last few weeks which have caused reaction from our members. The first was an announcement by HART that they intended laying a wreath on our War Memorial on June 16 to commemorate the black Africans killed at Soweto five years ago. The phone was hot and the air in the bar was blue as members voiced their anger. A check with the Borough Council confirmed that they had not been granted permission for such an event. Thoughts of members in combatting the happening ranged from picketing the memorial to removing the wreath as soon as it had been laid. The matter was discussed with the local newspapermen and we hinted that we intended to lay a wreath of our own at exactly the same time as the demonstrators and that we intended to hunt through our war histories to find any event at all to use as an excuse. Word must have got back to the right quarters as next day it was reported the wreath would now be laid on the village green as the demonstrators did not wish to upset returned servicemen. The second event to cause reaction from members was the Editorial in The Express on June 15 in which returned servicemen were stated as wont to look sternly across the generation gap and to be less than impressed with what they see.
