2 FOREWORD

In April1986the University of Queensland Library submittedto the DesignBoard of the AustraliaCouncil a proposal for assistance in a project to collect Queensland architecturalrecords. The decision to supportthe development of architectural collectionswas made by the Library for a numberof reasons. New interestin the nation's history had led to greater appreciationof the significanceof buildingsas social and culturalrecords. Two collections of records were already held in the Fryer Library- one from the firm A.B. and R.M. Wilson, established inBrisbane in1884, and the other fromthe architect I

As a result of the grant received from the Design Board,the Fryer Library has acquired a fine collection of architectural records. The collectiondates fromthe last two decades of the nineteenth century but is particularlystrong in the period between the two world wars. The collectionincludes the work of majorQueensland architects and architectural firmsand reflectsthe variety of stylesfound in bothpublic and domestic architecture over some five or six decades. Notable Queensland buildings, many of which no longer exist, are documented in the collection.

The present exhibitionhas been drawn from the Fryer Library's Queensland Architectural Archive. The drawings have been selected to reflect the character of that collection. Inpresenting the drawingsin a public exhibitionthe University shares with the community a part of the cultural heritage of Queensland. It also makes public acknowlegement to the Design Board of the AustraliaCouncil for their partin making the Queensland Architectural Archive possible.

Research for the exhibitionand the catalogue hasbeen carried out by Donald Watson and Fiona Gardiner,the two architectural researchers who have been employed on the project team and who have been chiefly responsiblefor the work of collecting the architectural records. Conservationwork on the drawings in the collection was carried out by the Library's Conservator, Robert Sheehy. We are grateful to the Friends of the Fryer Library who donated the funds for the printing of the catalogue. There are many others who have assisted in mounting thisexhibition but special thanks must go to DrS.V. Szokolay and staffof the University's Department of Architecture for their help with the installation,and toTaub mans, Pilkington ACI and to Graham Reynolds Pty.Ltd. for their generoussupport.

3 4 ARCHITECfURALDRAWINGS

Tetminology

Architecturaldrawings are mostly prepared for practical purposes. While they often have an intrinsic aesthetic quality, their purposeis primarily to communicate various aspects of a proposed building - its form and finishes,the disposition and relationship of its various parts, and the nature of itsstructure and construction.

Drawings prepared at successive stages in the productionof a building are distinguished by their titles:

Sketch plans: designproposals submitted to a client. Inpreparation for thesepreliminary drawings are made to develop or test ideas. Presentation drawings: a formal design proposal, possibly for publication. Working drawings: the technical drawings usedfor tendering and construction. Contract drawings: the drawings agreed to by a client and contractor as setting out the extent of the proposed works. Detail drawings: (including shop drawings) prepared to explain particular aspectsof construction at a larger scale or with more information.

A second set of terms differentiates between the ways a building or its parts can be drawn:

Plans: a horizontal plane through allor a part of a building. Elevations: a view of verticalsurfaces, external or internal,of all or part of a building. Sections: a verticalcut taken throughall or a part of a building showing the relationshipsbetween different levels and aspects of structure and construction. Perspective: a three dimensional view of all or parts of a building. Other simplified three dilnensional views such as isometric and axonometric projectionsare used to explain complex forms or details.

Media

Architectural drawings were made on paper, cloth or film,with varying characteristics of stability, tear strength, erasibility, translucency, permanancy and ability to accept pencil and ink. include They opaque and translucent papers of various weights, and so called linen, actually astarched cotton cloth. They were generally in pencil or ink and sometimes coloured with water colour, colouredpencils or inks, etc.

5 Light weight paper was used for preliminary drawingsor for working out details. Heavierpaper was usedmore for importantdrawings especially forpresentation and tenderdrawings which were often water-coloured. Translucent paper (alsoin various weights) and linenwere usedfor tracingfrom drafts and to facilitate making copies - required for distributionto clients, local authorities, consultants, builders and sub contractors. Linen which was moredurable was preferred for often used drawings.

After a preliminarydrawing was prepared on paper, a carefully drafted original was produced (often by tracing from the preliminarydrawing) on linen or tracing paper. Thisdrawing was then reproduced as required.

Printing Techniques

An(architectural) print is a generic term for various forms of reproduction, including blueprint, helioprint, sepia print and diazoprints, such as dyelines or ammonia prints. In some instances prints are the sole remaining record of a building. They may also contain additionalinformation, such as colouring, annotation or alterations to an originaldrawing, so that they warrent preservation as ifthey were original.

Simple chemical processesfor making prints were an improvement on tracing original drawings. The processes devised were similar - firstly, the exposure of light sensitive paper screened by an original translucent drawing,and secondly, the development of the exposed paper.

Prints were initially produced by fixing the original drawing and sensitized paper, backed by a felt pad, in a printingframe. After exposing the frame in sunlight for between half to one and a half hours, the partly de-sensitized paper was removed and washed in developer. Carbon arc lamps were later used instead of sunlight to expose the print paper, which was placed around a revolving drum in chain-driven printing machines. The exposedpaper was then run, by means of rollers, through a trough of developer. From the 1950's, mercury quartz tubes superseded carbon arc lamps.

Blueprints Blueprints (or cyanotype) were the first,widely popular form of printing,much simpler for office use than the earlier silvergelatin process. The chemicals used(potassium ferricyanide and ferric ammonium citrate) could bemixed in the office and applied to paper, or the paper could be purchased pre-sensitized from manufacturers. Developed inwater, they gave a reversed image of the original - white lines on a rich blue background (Turnbull'sBlue which is chemically similarto Prussian Blue) which was sometimes intensified by the addition of potassium dichromate. They were phased out in the early 1950s.

Helioprints Helioprints using ferro-gallic coated paper were developed ineither an acid or waterbath, and gave a black line on white background. They were phased out in the 1930s.

6 Sepia prints (alsoVan Dyke or brown prints), could beeither negative (white lines on a sepia ground) or positive (blue line on white background- sometimes called a reverse blueprint). Aswith blueprintsthey were superseded in the 1950s.

Diazotype (Ammonia prints and dyelines). Although precursors of this form of print date from the 1880s, diazo prints were only perfected during World War I when shortages of photo graphic paper forced development of a substitute reproduction process. Itinvolves the chemical reaction between two substances in the coating - a light sensitive diazo compound and an azo dyestuff. Exposed to light the diazo compound decomposes. Where protected against exposure by lineson the original drawing, the compounds are unaffected and combine to produce a dye in the presence of a developer - ammonia vapour (ammonia print) or a chemical bath (dyeline print). Both are black line prints. In turn printsdiazo are now partly replaced by photocopying. The colour of a print was varied by modifying the developer. The texture and weight of a print was altered by the use of papers of different weight or texture but similarly sensitized.

The representation of materials

Colouring

To facilitate understanding of what materials were proposed for construction of an intended building, copies or prints were often coloured. The use of colour was standardised, with each colour representing a particular material(whose colour it loosely approximated). The colour might differ ifseen in section or elevation:

Stone: Sepia Brickwork and terra cotta: Elevation: Venetian Red Section: Crimson Lake Concrete: Neutral Tint Metal (corrugated and flat): Prussian Blue Softwood: Yellow Ochre Hardwood: Burnt Sienna Glass: Cobalt Blue

Hatching

The labourious process of hand colouring multiple copies was more recently avoided by the substitution of patterns drawn on the original to represent materials. The present Australian standard AS.1100.301: includes a schedule for both of these, but thisvaries somewhat from the colours usedtraditionally.

7 Condition of theDrawings

Architecturaldrawings are literally working drawings. Seldomwhen finished are they framed as art works on paper. More often,they are subject to varying degrees of abuse. They are intaken and out of storage, rolled or folded, and annotated and altered, even after a job is completed. Inthe case of prints,the reproduction process may resultin drawings which areprone to deterioration. Ifkept at all, it is not surprising that they are often in less thanperfect condition.

The drawings which have come to the Archive generally require at least surface cleaning. Documentcleaning pads which containsoft, grit free powder absorb dirt and dust. Solventscan beemployed to remove the adhesive tapes which have been used to repair tears. The stains caused by the adhesivesare much more difficult to remove. Conservators tend to employ techniques which minimise discoloration and, unless staining obscures detail, avoid treatments which may restore original colour but may also weaken the support material. Acidityis one of the major causes of deteriorationin paper. Many of the drawings in this exhibition required treatment for thisreason. Different techniques needed to be employed for different materials. Those on cartridge paper, for instance, were tested to see whether their inks and colours were soluble and if they proved stable were immersed in a water detergent bath for fifteen minutes and then rinsed twice in deionised water to remove alltraces of the detergent. Washing removed a gooddeal of acid but an alkalinedeacidifying solution was applied to further neutraliseacids present in the paper. When dry the drawings were mounted on acidfree paper using acid free paste.

In many cases treatment has markedly improved the appearance of the drawings. No technique is employed, however, simply for itscosmetic value. The objective of conservationwork is to stabilise the materials and ensure their durability by providing appropriate storage and a controlledmacro-environment.

Drawings in the Queensland Architectural Archive

The archive collectsnon-gov ernment architectural records, including drawings, specifications,tender books and correspondence,and photographs as well as published material of relevance to particularcollections. While collectinghas concentrated on the work of architectsup to World War II, the Archive also holds significant collectionsof work up to c1960.

The majorityof Queensland architectural records, at least before World War I, have been lost. Thisincludes those of the earliest practitioners in Queensland - the architects of the 1860s. Only a small number of plans remain from that time. Sadly, the same holds trueup to c1890. No collectionsof the largest firmsof the 1880s, such as Richard Galley, F.D.G. Stanley, John Hall & James Cowlishaw, are known to exist. The John Oxley Library has somedrawings of Andrea Stombuco and the Archive holds drawings of A.B. Wilson from the 1880's. Individual drawings of thisperiod survive inthe collections of firms who later altered or otherwise advised on buildings constructedat that time.George Cowlishaw's Telegraph Building in Conrad and Gargett's collection,James Marks' PittsworthChurch in the HodgenCollection, and AlfredBanks' Synagogue in the Wilson collectionare three instances. Documentation of some earlier buildings also existsas measured drawings.

8 Much larger holdings date fromthe 1890s. The extraordinary Hodgen collection, consisting of drawings and meticulously kept correspondence,specifications and other records of hiswide-ranging practice, alsoincludes materialfrom early in the 1890s when WilliamHodgen worked and studied inLondon, prior to the commencement of hisToowoomba-based practice in 1897. The Lund, Hutton, Ryan, Morton collection includes a few drawings from soonafter that firmwas firstestablished as the Brisbane office of the Sydney-based, McCredie Brothers and Chambers. The collection of Conrad and Gargett of which only a part has so far beentransferred to the Archive, contains plans from the parent firm,including those for the Brisbane FireBrigade building on which the practice was first established by W.H. Atkinson in 1890.

The twentieth century is far better represented, with a greater proportion of records of both the older firms and their successors, and of the more recently established practices, surviving. The drawings of the Ipswich architect M.Wm Haenke dating from 1901 are of particular interest with their exuberant detailing of both timber and masonry buildings. Plans of another inventive Ipswich architect, George Brockwell Gill, survive at least in part, in the collection of Conrad and Gargett who took over the firm after Gill's retirement. Work of Lange Powell who was influential right up to his death shortly before World WarIT is in the Powell, Dods and Thorpe collection, and also in the collections of other firms with whom he was associated at various times.

For the period between the wars, the collection of the Archive is strong, including the work of Chambers and Ford, E.P. and A.l. Trewern, Atkinson and Conrad, Lange Powell, J.P. Donoghue, RM. Wilson, C.B. da Costa, as well as W.Hodgen and M.Wm Haenke. There are also individual items of R.P. Cummings, C.W.T. Fulton and George Rae. Architecture after World War II is well represented by drawings of Hayes and Scott,Karl Langer, Vitaly Gzell, Lund Hutton and Newell (in both north and south Queensland), and James Birrell.

The work of architectswho practicedin countrytowns iswell documentedin some of the best collectionsin the Archive. Included among the plans of significant buildings which it holds are many for buildings which have been listed by the NationalTrust and many instances of important buildings which have now been demolished. A number of buildings which were among the earliest recipientsof awards from the Institute of Architects for meritorious architecture are also included as well as entries inmany well known architecturalcompetitions. In addition to demonstrating developments in building designand construction, these records also document broader social and technological change.
