Brutalist Architecture in Sydney
9 ImagesArchitect Glenn Harper is one of the few public admirers of Sydney's off-maligned concrete heritage. Poor public appreciation for these timeless examples of public architecture motivated Mr Harper last year to create the first-ever inventory of brutalist buildings in Sydney, Newcastle and Wollongong. Only three brutalist buildings in NSW enjoy state heritage protection - the hand-built home of German emigre architects Hugh and Eva Buhrich in Castlecrag, the family home of Harry and Penelope Seidler in Killara and the former Torin Corporation factory in Penrith.
