Jane Foss Russell Building University of Sydney John Wardle Architects in association with Wilson Architects and GHD

摘要

The Jane Foss Russell Building and its walkway over City Road are part of the University of Sydney's scheme to upgrade and enhance the artery linking the historic campus and the Darlington campus. This development was seen as an important pivot entity along the route and was the subject of a major competition. In essence, Wardle's winning design featured an active student square along the route, a major library taking up the slope under the square, and an array of university offices overlooking the square. Budget constraints and value management appear to have somewhat compromised the original vision.
