The story
The origins date back to Woods Bagot 1869, when the architect Edward John Woods was responsible for improving and expanding the design of St. Peter's Cathedral in Adelaide. In 1905, he joined forces with another prominent local architect, Walter Bagot , after many years of successful private practice. Woods withdrew from practice 1913 Bagot was then joined by architect Louis Laybourne-Smith 1917 et James Campbell Irwin , later Mayor of Adelaide , in 1930. The company was incorporated in Woods Bagot Architects in 1975 As and Woods Bagot Pty Ltd 1987.
Style architectural
The design of the West Building of the Adelaide Convention Center echoes the local geology.
Inevitably, for a company whose history spans more than a century, Woods Bagot has adopted a variety of architectural styles since its inception. The first Australian buildings like Bonython Hall were built in the classic gothic style popular at the time, but the steady expansion of business in Asia, Europe and North America has been accompanied by a change in style and approach that embraced a variety of modern and progressive themes .
The last company work is often inspired by the natural world. The outer surface of the Australian Institute of building health and medical research (SAHMRI) is based on a pine cone, for example, with a "living skin" designed for optimal passive solar performance.
A new extension to the Adelaide Convention Center, designed in conjunction with architect Larry Oltmanns US , refers to local geological forms, including distinctive color and stratification of the Australian Australian landscape.
Some newer models have focused on philosophical topics, environmental and geological. The design of the Nan Tien Institute in Wollongong , New South Wales, reflects the principles of Buddhist teaching, by specifically avoiding hierarchical components and providing a neutral environment, free materialistic and excess. A new bridge and a place between the Institute of Nan Tien Temple near complex were designed as a practical and mixed point of interest for community gatherings, and a remarkable development full. Apart from Australia, Cubus, Cubus an inspired Cubism , a detailed tour 25 floors completed in Hong Kong 2011, Has geometrical lighting panels that mimic the forms and shapes of ice.
