The Thomas Street Cloud Gate – a collaboration with artist Lindy Lee, and Jane Irwin Landscape Architects is being installed just in time for Lunar New Year Celebrations in Thomas and Hay Street.

On 12th September, Philip delivered the Donald K Turner Address at the University of NSW. The lecture was titled ‘Architectural Culture: From Site to Society’ and looked at a range of projects through the lens of architectural culture – retracing our steps from built project to inception to locate each within our understanding of its broader architectural lineage.

Wedge shaped buildings of Redfern 1; this iconic one sits above Redfern Station on the prow of Little Eveleigh St. Currently home to #The BigIssue, it’s currently needlessly under threat of demolition for a long overdue western concourse for Redfern Station, which new community alliance #reconnectredfern propose should instead be located further west for maximum public benefit #nswpol @cityofsydney #redfernstation #littleeveleighstreet #wedgebuildings #flatirontype #redfernstationconcourse #warehouse #wedgewarehouse #sydneyarchitecture
Flashing past our mixed use tower in Burwood - seen from the train. Super slender, only 12.8m wide, 20 storeys height, small footprint (3m side setback), white with fine proportions. Hybrid mix of larger & separate commercial spaces, serviced apartments with 45 x 1 & 2 storey apartments above Thanks to team @aaronj_murray @hay_nina @john.mouawad #tower #slendertower #mixedusetype #hybridtype #urbanarchitecture #smallfootprinttower #whitetower #construction #burwoodtower #burwood #burwoodstation #viewfromthetrain #sydneyarchitecture #architecture
Rebuild in Redfern by #candalepasarchitects; the transformation of the first of the pair of TNT towers that sit beside the station. Taller, slightly larger & worked perimeter, now housing, strong modelling with each facade with its own character. @cityofsydney @angelo_candas #creativeadaptation #urbantransformation #adaptivereuse #redfern #tnttowers #towerform #sydneyarchitecture #architecture
Wedge-shaped buildings of Darlinghurst 3; sharp edge of the Cafe on Darlinghurst Rd surely one of the most pointed corners /smallest footprint of any building in Sydney? Again tiny building-such a high proportion of plan to perimeter, remnant lot after street widening. @cityofsydney #darlinghurst #darlinghurstroad #urbancorner #streetwall #sydneyarchitecture #wedgebuildings
Up close at the bespoke tiling in the monumental entry portal at #verveapartments in Newcastle. In selection of coloured bands, tiling references the geological strata under Newcastle. Grouting & flush glazing installation all in. Thanks to all involved; @hay_nina @aaronj_murray, architects in association @ckdsarchitecture @nflatman @anchorceramics @brucerowestudio @bloc_aus @citynewcastle.au #newcastleaustralia #apartmententry #artwork #publicart #portal #monumentalentry #bespoketiles #handmadeceramics #boardedconcrete #flushglazing #bandedtiling #insettiles #australianarchitecture #architectureofhousing #architecture
Wedge-shaped buildings of Darlinghurst 2; the sharp edge of the Darlo Bar on Darlinghurst Rd & Hardie Sts-surely the smallest & most acute urban block in Sydney? So rare to have such a (tiny) whole block building-all perimeter @cityofsydney #sydneyarchitecture #wedgebuildings #flatirontype #darlinghurst #darlinghurstroad #hardiestreet #hardiestreetsydney #cornerpub #sydneyhotels #1920’spubs #triangularblock #tinyblocks #nosetbacks #urbanarchitecture
