  • BRG 18 Preliminary Inventory ______
    _____________________________________________________________________ WOODS BAGOT ARCHITECTS PTY. LTD BRG 18 Preliminary Inventory __________________________________________________________________ Edward Woods (1837-1913) arrived in South Australia during 1860 and began working for the architect Edmund Wright. He helped design the GPO and Town Hall before starting out on his own in 1869; his first commission being St. Peter's Cathedral. By 1884, he had been appointed the colony's Architect-in-chief, and was an inaugural member of the S.A. Institute of Architects formed in 1886. Walter Bagot (1880-1963), a grandson of Henry Ayers and a student of St. Peter's College, became articled to Woods in 1899. He later studied architecture in London before entering into partnership with Woods in 1905. The following year, Bagot assisted with the formation of the first school of architecture in Adelaide, under the auspices of the School of Mines. Herbert Jory, James Irwin and Louis Laybourne-Smith joined the practice as partners in ensuing years; Laybourne-Smith (1880-1965) was also Head of the School of Architecture for 40 years and instrumental in its foundation. Woods Bagot have been a very influential in South Australia, with early emphasis on traditional styles and in ecclesiastical architecture. The firm designed Elder House, the Trustee Building, Bonython Hall, Barr Smith Library, the War Memorial, Carrick Hill and a number of churches in Adelaide and the country. Later commissions included John Martins, the Bank of NSW, CML and Da Costa Buildings, ANZ Bank and the Elizabeth City Centre, while more recent examples include Standard Chartered, Commonwealth Bank, Telecom and Mutual Health buildings.

  • A Symposium Exploring Digital Architectural and Built Environment Records
    Born digital: a symposium exploring digital architectural and built environment records WORKSHOP PRESENTERS AND PRESENTATION SUMMARIES Monday 18 April 2016 Morning Session 9am-12.30pm Venue: Council Room, Hawke Building Level 5 Welcome and Introduction Assoc Prof Christine Garnaut, Director: Architecture Museum, School of Art Architecture and Design, University of South Australia E: [email protected] Archaeology of the Digital and born-digital archives at CCA Tim Walsh, Digital Archivist, Canadian Centre for Architecture, Montreal The last few decades have seen radical changes in the tools, education, and practice of architecture and design. Archaeology of the Digital is part of a multi-year research project launched by the Canadian Centre for Architecture (CCA) to investigate the development and use of computers in architecture, and the first step in the CCA’s strategic objective of creating a collection of digital architecture. The project, spanning a period of three years and including exhibitions, seminars, public programs and publications, has fostered research around two crucial under-addressed topics: how to collect, preserve, and catalogue born-digital architectural archives, and how to make this material accessible to the public and to researchers. Tim Walsh will share details and experiences from the project, and speak to the opportunities and challenges of archiving born-digital files of architecture and design. Tim Walsh is the Digital Archivist at the Canadian Centre for Architecture, an international research centre and museum in Montreal dedicated to the study of architecture as a public concern. He holds an MS in Library and Information Science from Simmons College, where he concluded his studies with a research paper entitled “Preservation and Access of Born-Digital Architectural Design Records in an OAIS-Type Archive,” and a BA in English from the University of Florida.

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.

(Khalifa, 1992). The first Qatar National Bibliography was published in 1970. (Al Nassr, 1993). But only in 1982, the legal deposit law by Emir Decree No. 14 was issued, and more national library functions developed: the collection of publications from Qataris published abroad and the ISBN-Agency of Qatar in 1994. From 1972 onwards the Qatar National Library organized the Qatar Book Fair, an important cultural event for the country and the region. Over the years the national library has served its users with a wide range of collection and activities. Between 1978 and 1985 the branches developed and their libraries filled up with Arab and English books. The Women’s library, with a collection of more than 60.000 volumes introduced educational computer games for Kids and internet in a modern office building, which was changed to become a library. They developed a set of activities with handicapped students from different schools and their new knowledge management is a good example to other public library branches after their facilities are renovated and modernized.
