Spot Fire 2 – Peter Kohane 'James Barnet's Design for Sydney's Garden Palace'

A gateway to the city: James Barnet’s design for Sydney’s Garden Palace Peter Kohane Senior Lecturer in Architectural Studies, Architecture and Urban Typologies, University of NSW As colonial architect from 1862 to 1890, James Barnet defined the character of many towns in NSW with his impressive courthouses and post offices; but his greatest achievement was a unified scheme for the centre of Sydney. More than any other architect, Barnet was committed to implementing a consistent urban vision for Sydney – one that was both theatrical and keyed to topography. This was achieved through the construction of headquarters of the colony’s principal institutions, including the General Post Office (1864–91), the Colonial Secretary’s Office (1873–93), the Lands Department (1876–92), and Customs House (1885). In addition, Barnet designed the Sydney International Exhibition pavilion, known as the Garden Palace, a building erected in 1879 and sadly destroyed within three years. This remarkable edifice was composed to be both seen and to be seen from; it was a landmark and lookout. Three Spot Fire Symposia were held in anticipation of Kaldor Public Art Project 32, Jonathan Jones’ barrangal dyara (skin and bones).
