The Sydney School of Architecture, Design and Planning, also known as The University of Sydney School of Architecture, Design and Planning, formerly the Faculty of Architecture, Design and Planning, is a constituent body of the University of Sydney, New South Wales, Australia. The school was established in 1920.

History

From 1880, the study of architecture at the University of Sydney was an elective of the postgraduate and undergraduate engineering degrees. In 1918 the University of Sydney Senate approved the establishment of a School of Architecture within the Faculty of Science, which was enacted in 1920 with Leslie Wilkinson as the chair and then the first dean of architecture. Of the first nine undergraduate students, five were men and four were women.[1]

Wilkinson Building

The Faculty of Architecture, Design and Planning is located in the Wilkinson Building, 148 City Road, Darlington.[2] The building is named after the first dean of the school Leslie Wilkinson.

The Wilkinson Building is an amalgam of two building phases, the first a modest T-shaped building opened in 1959 and major additions completed in 1975. The first building was built from an original sketch plan of the new School of Architecture prepared by the office of Baldwinson, Booth & Peters in November 1957. Documentation drawings were prepared by Eric Andrew and construction commenced in 1958 and completed in 1959. This was the first building to be completed in the University of Sydney's expansion south across City Road into Darlington. Only six years later in 1965 the University Senate approved in principal draft plans for significant alterations and additions to the School of Architecture. Architectural firm McConnel Smith & Johnson has been credited with the initial designs, of which Dean of the School Peter Johnson was a principal. By 1967 the Senate reviewed sketch plans and a brief prepared by the Faculty of Architecture under Johnson, which were to be documented by local firm Fowell Mansfield Jarvis & Maclurcan. The final proposal was documented in 1972 with construction taking place 1973—1975.[3]

The Tin Sheds Gallery is all that remains of the Tin Sheds art workshops, established in 1969 by Donald Brook and Marr Grounds.[4] [2]
