Book excerpt: Building a masterpiece explores some of the untold chapters in the long history of the Opera House's gestation, development and completion -- of individuals whose careers were made or broken by the Opera House, the companies whose reputations were secured through their association with the building, and the pioneering construction methods, innovative technologies and methodologies developed to meet the demands of its unprecedented design and challenging construction. The workers who built the building, the politicians, architects and members of the public who championed it and its often beleaguered architect are discussed as is its current world status as a symbol of Australia.To coincide with the 40th anniversary of the opening of the Sydney Opera House, this new edition of Building a Masterpiece will include a new chapter on another little known and much misunderstood story: the architect who took over from Utzon and completed the project.

Book Synopsis Designing the Global City by : Robert Freestone
Download or read book Designing the Global City written by Robert Freestone and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-12-12 with total page 366 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This text explores how architectural and urban design values have been co-opted by global cities to enhance their economic competitiveness by creating a superior built environment that is not just aesthetically memorable but more productive and sustainable. It focuses on the experience of central Sydney through its policy commitment to ‘design excellence’ and more particularly to mandatory competitive design processes for major private development. Framed within broader contexts that link it to comparable urban policy and design issues in the Asia-Pacific region and globally, it provides a scholarly but accessible volume that provides a balanced and critical overview of a policy that has changed the design culture, development expectations, public realm and skyline of central Sydney, raising issues surrounding the uneven distribution of benefits and costs, professional practice, representative democracy, and implications of globalization.
Book Synopsis Sydney Opera House at 50 by : Andrew Botros
Download or read book Sydney Opera House at 50 written by Andrew Botros and published by Expressive Engineering Pty Ltd. This book was released on 2023-08-31 with total page 30 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is no more consequential building created in the 20th century; no other building has so comprehensively defined a city, stretched the technology of its day and required as much toil of its people. 50 years after the opening of the Sydney Opera House, it is easy to assume the inevitability of the structure that stands, but this was Australia's moon project. It pushed international capability to breaking point and absorbed vast teams of talented individuals into the unknown, experimenting with new techniques for years. Only through the collective can we understand its story. With the benefit of key first-hand accounts, now publicly known, this book lays out the critical moments for Jorn Utzon and the building's key designers as they played out at Sydney's world-heritage site.

Book Synopsis Sydney's Martin Place by : Judith O'Callaghan
Download or read book Sydney's Martin Place written by Judith O'Callaghan and published by Allen & Unwin. This book was released on 2016-11-23 with total page 634 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Martin Place is one of Sydney's iconic urban places. Since the 1890s it has fulfilled a vital role as a significant public space at the centre of Australia's most populous city; in the heart of the central business district, its powerful corporate presence now defines a globally connected city. It is a place of varied moods and attributes: vista and fine relief, boldness and intimacy, new and old, repose and dynamism. From the beginning, its physical form has framed a people place, the character of which is ever-changing through everyday use and activity as well as moments of commemoration, celebration and protest. This collection captures Martin Place from all angles-its architectural and social history, its changing landscape, and its various economic and cultural functions-along with the people and organisations that have made it their own. 'This book describes the history of the creation and evolution of Martin Place as a vital part of our civic life - in times of war, at times of celebration and as a heart of our city's banking and finance industry. The ever-unfolding changes to the fabric of Martin Place and the imposing and stately buildings that flank it are a testament to how our constantly changing city is ever-evolving to adapt to and to grasp the potential of an ever-changing future.' - Lucy Hughes Turnbull AO
Book Synopsis The Other Moderns by : Rebecca Hawcroft
Download or read book The Other Moderns written by Rebecca Hawcroft and published by NewSouth Publishing. This book was released on 2017-09-04 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While Harry Seidler is one of Australia’s most famous architects, little is known of his European-born contemporaries. The Other Moderns uncovers the work of Sydney’s forgotten émigré architects, interior designers, and furniture makers working from the 1930s to 1960s, and reveals their groundbreaking impact on modernist design. Highlighting the direct connections between Sydney and the European design centres of Vienna, Berlin, and Budapest, the book provides a new understanding of modernism. Profiling the work of architects like Henry Epstein and Hugo Stossel, along with Gerstl Furniture, The Other Moderns tells the story of the network of architects, designers, property developers, retailers, and photographers working together to bring a distinctly European style to mid-century Australia. Richly illustrated with rare photography, including stunning images from Austrian-born photographer Margaret Michaelis, and furniture from the collection of Hotel Hotel Canberra, the book explores the work of this unacknowledged group of style makers for the first time.

Book Synopsis Jørn Utzon by : Michael Asgaard Andersen
Download or read book Jørn Utzon written by Michael Asgaard Andersen and published by Princeton Architectural Press. This book was released on 2013-12-03 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Visionary Danish architect Jørn Utzon was just thirty-eight years old when in 1957 he was named the surprise winner of an international competition to design the Sydney Opera House in Australia. His bold design consisting of five performance halls topped by billowing concrete shells clad in ceramic tile is universally recognized as a masterpiece of twentieth-century architecture. While this early triumph brought Utzon worldwide fame, it overshadowed a larger body of work of great importance for modern architecture. Utzon's highly diverse projects around the globe, from the National Assembly in Kuwait and Melli Bank in Tehran, Iran, to the Bagsværd Church and numerous houses in Denmark, are testaments to his belief that modernism need not sacrifice local character to be forward thinking. Organized into six thematic chapters—place, working method, building culture, construction, materiality, and living—Jørn Utzon presents all of his important work as well as many of his lesser-known, though equally important competition entries, furniture designs, and other built projects.
