Harry is an Associate Professor at UNSW and has a special interest in the history of architecture as well as contemporary urban issues.
In this talk, he reviews the period of public works architecture during the 60’s and 70’s and reflects that this may have been the end of great public works projects in Australia.
Through a journey taking in Sydney, Canberra and Perth, he reviews a series of ‘brutalist’ buildings, several of which are outstanding examples of this time.
His final call is for the return of the great public works projects as an immediate social good, as well as an opportunity to leave a legacy for future generations to use and admire.
