  • Background-Information-Mackie-House.Pdf
    August 2016 BACKGROUND INFORMATION Mackie House, 41 National Circuit (Block 16 Section 7, Forrest) At its meeting of 25 August 2016 the ACT Heritage Council decided that Mackie House was not eligible for provisional registration. The information contained in this report was considered by the ACT Heritage Council in assessing the nomination for Mackie House against the heritage significance criteria outlined in s10 of the Heritage Act 2004. HISTORY Doug and Jill Mackie moved to Canberra from Sydney in 1956. Doug Mackie was proprietor of the Kingston newsagency before moving into property development. In 1958, the couple bought a block of almost half an acre at 41 National Circuit for £970 (Reeves and Roberts 2013: 98). The Mackies commissioned the Sydney firm of McConnel, Smith and Johnson to design a four bedroom home. The supervising architect was Peter Keys, recently returned from London, who was Doug Mackie’s first cousin (their mothers were twins). The Mackies obtained a permit to build within two months of signing the lease and their house on 41 National Circuit (‘Mackie House’) was certified finished ten months later (Reeves and Roberts 2013: 98). The Sydney-based practice of McConnel, Smith & Johnson (MSJ) was established in 1955. The firm had its origins in a post-war office formed in 1949 by Kenneth McConnel, a talented designer whose sensitive designs had been recognised before World War II with the presentation of Sulman Award when he was a partner of Fowell, McConnel & Mansfield. One of McConnel's early and ongoing projects was the War Veterans’ Home, Dee Why, NSW (1949-73), which was built in six stages and planned as a village, informally sited in its bush landscape (Goad and Willis 2011: 436).

  • AN AUSTRALIAN ARCHITECTURAL SAGA This Draft Summary Clarifies A
    AN AUSTRALIAN ARCHITECTURAL SAGA This draft summary clarifies a 60 year political saga in Australian architectural politics, beginning with the arrival in Sydney of Harry Seidler in 1948 and continuing via his widow Penelope and her supporters after Seidler’s death in 2006. The angle for this version of the saga focuses on architectural politics around author Davina Jackson’s corruptly failed PhD thesis on Seidler’s main early rival in Sydney, Douglas Snelling. An earlier version of this text has been submitted to the Victorian Ombudsman, the NSW Board of Architects, and other relevant government agencies. It also has been circulated to key leaders of Australia’s architectural culture (including Michael Bryce at the Governor General’s Office) – with no questioning of the facts or interpretations. Three lawyers have seen this text and while one advises ‘this saga is so shocking it can never be officially admitted’, the facts have been so comprehensively recorded, circulated and witnessed, there is no realistic potential for the Seidlers, or other named protagonists, to deny their roles either. ......... In the age of the leak and the blog, of evidence extraction and link discovery, truths will either out or be outed, later if not sooner. This is something I would bring to the attention of every diplomat, politician and corporate leader: The future, eventually, will find you out. The future, wielding unimaginable tools of transparency, will have its way with you. In the end, you will be seen to have done that which you did. —William Gibson. 2003. ‘The Road to Oceania’ in The New York Times, June.

The first was the 1970 Master Plan Report and the second, the Landscape Elements Report of April 1974. This Report deals with the area related to University Square - directly south of the Grattan Street gâte to the main site. It was mentioned in the 1970 report but not discussed in detail. While my 1970 Master Plan Report was strongly in favour of University develop- ment in this direction, it appeared at the time that it was precluded by earlier University decisions, the then zoning, and financial problems arising from the value of the land. Subsequent events, particularly the publication of the City of Melbourne Strategy Plan, have enabled the University to consider action in this area and have led to the request for a planning report.

The house is of local associative significance because of its strong association with renowned architect, Ken Woolley and his firm, Ancher, Mortlock, Murray & Woolley. The construction of a new residence within an existing suburban area demonstrates a desire by the Eastment family to continue to live in Killara, where the family had been since the 1930s. This Eastment House is of local aesthetic significance as its design exhibits the hallmarks of the regional form of modernism (termed by some as the Sydney School) including its use of unpainted external brickwork, vertical timber boarding, high lighting through clerestory windows, and complex, broken roof forms as well as the use of split levels within the house to create a flow of both visual space and of cooling Summer breezes.

Under the certainties and assumptions vested in the British Empire, relationships with Asia in the Australian architectural imagination were typically ambivalent. History had extended Europe far beyond its shores. The far-flung geography of Australasia was to be ignored as best as possible, the distance overcome by ever-faster transport and communications. With the formal end of empire in the mid-twentieth century, and the new geo-political and economic focus on the development of neighbouring nation states, the nature and dynamics of architectural encounter between Asia and Australasia ostensibly changed significantly. Yet, as this paper explores, modernity was in many respects just a new face to the former imperial order.
