ARRC’s research capacity continues to grow as the Centre continues to host and expand its pool of leading researchers from CSIRO’s Petroleum Resources and Exploration and Mining Divisions, Curtin’s Departments of Exploration Geophysics and Petroleum Engineering as well as from industry and other government research collaborators. The location of this leading global research institution in Western Australia is fitting, given that the State produces two-thirds of Australia’s non-fuel minerals and about half of its petroleum. Western Australia is one of the great mineral provinces of the world and our thriving resources sector continues to drive the Australian economy. Record levels of mineral and petroleum exploration expenditure were experienced in 2007-08, resulting in Western Australia attracting 51 per cent of all mineral exploration expenditure and 72 per cent of all petroleum exploration expenditure in Australia.

  • Architectural Landmarks and the Evolving Image of Perth City
    F. Madeo and M. A. Schnabel (eds.), Across: Architectural Research through to Practice: 48th Interna- tional Conference of the Architectural Science Association 2014, pp. 175–184. © 2014, The Architectural Science Association & Genova University Press. ARCHITECTURAL LANDMARKS AND THE EVOLVING IMAGE OF PERTH CITY RACHEL PAGES-OLIVER Curtin University, Perth, Australia [email protected] Abstract. This paper draws upon the theory of Kevin Lynch in The Image of the City (1960) to explore how landmark architecture can af- fect how a city is represented as it evolves over time. Using Perth, Western Australia, as a case study, diagrammatic plans and elevations are drawn to identify how the identity of the city changes during the city's evolution. The research revealed that Perth's architecture re- volves around the discoveries of mineral deposits in Western Australia and the ensuing economic impacts. This led to the identification of five stages within the history of Perth, which include settlement, gold rush, depression, minerals boom, and mining boom. The most iconic architectural landmarks during each of the five stages are then used to analyse the image of the city. The image of the city is discussed by Kevin Lynch (1960) as a fixed point in time, however this paper ex- plores the notion that as the city evolves so too does its image. Keywords. Landmarks; Image of the city; Mapping; Perth; History. 1. Introduction The image of the city is described by Kevin Lynch as the “mental image of that city which is held by its citizens” (Lynch 1960, pp.2). Architectural landmarks are "expressions of a collective identity" (Kaika 2010, pp.
