| Comments: | I foumd your web-site while searching for locations to photograph some costumes. I am the Head of Costume at the National Institute of Dramatic Art (NIDA) in Sydney. We have three 1930's evening dresses that our Costume students have made and wish to photograph them in a suitably Art Deco environment. Many places want to charge us and I'm afraid that we don't have the money to pay. Somewhere elegant (a bar, the balcony of a house etc.) where they can pose sipping cocktails or looking elegant. Any suggestions or offers. Many thanks. Fiona |

| Comments: | I would like to have the city of Newcastle made aware how much Artdeco it has and how it should be preserved.
We are just starting the kind of development push that has caused such destruction elsewhere. Please let them know we care and push for maximum care to enforce heritage and height and bulk guidelines so the existing buildings are still in sight from harbour for tours and are not treated unsympathetically. I am happy to report the Bank Corner is being renovated and I attended a very interesting history lecture there. Visit Newcastle for great antiques shops too.. Newcastle Council mail@ncc.nsw.gov.au |

| Comments: | (son of Guy Crick of Kings) Currently trying to convince
councils to retain cinemas - fighting Westfields at Hornsby - held up by council for 18 months - Hornsby (half federation half art deco) is proberly the oldest continual use cinema in Australia - open air around 1900 - I have just looked at Rose Bay Kings - will not be a cinema again, however should retain facade, ceilings, and some deco etc. |

| Comments: | Any intention to destroy the MCA building is yet another
ignorant one thast overlooks the significant conribution art deco buildings play in the built environment. In Adelaide, we have less than a dozen art deco buildings of note in the city square mile. yet just a few months ago the Adelaide City Council voted to demolish the splendid Metro Cinema in Hindly St! These building contribute to the diversity of the street character. We don't just want to preserve Victorian achitecture, but 20th century achitecture as well! Don't let them do it!! |

| Comments: | I am outraged at the proposal to 'revamp' or possibly
demolish the former Maritime Services Board building at west Circular Quay. This is an imposing and distinctive building and an essential part of the character of Circular Quay. It should not be shoved under a coffee table or pulled down to be replaced with another postmodern nonentity. Why on earth should the building be destroyed because the facility it houses isn't viable? The issue of how much public money should go into supporting a contemporary arts museum that only a small section of the public is interested in is another issue entirely. And why the fate of this fine old building is being challenged by something as temporal and unremarkable as Frank Sartor is beyond me. |

| Comments: | I would like to lodge my protest at the thought of the
demolision of the MCA building. This building is part of circular Quay and is creates an ideal visual entry to the rocks area. I can not believe that this building could be removed. I am sure that the community if consulted would prefer it to stay and not be redeveloped. |

| Comments: | The proposed destruction of the MCA is indicative of
Australia's inability to take some aspects of its history, such as its architectural heritage, seriously. It is also not a particularly good advertisement for Sydney. |

| Comments: | DEMOLITION ALERT
A group of Rio de Janeiro architects, including me, have been shocked with the possibility of the Museum of Contemporary Art be demolished; a rare example of modernity in Sidney. We considered an absurdity, without justification, to extinguish this work by William H. Withers. Frank Ostrower Architect Rio de Janeiro |

graphic design course. Although I dig art deco for its asthetic beauty I am starting to despise it for the abundance of conflicting information I am finding on it. I am finding it quite a difficult assignment to complete as of the varying influences, origins etc. If you could please forward me some information it would be great appreciated.

| Comments: | Hi,
I have sent the letter in Opera Hause and I show it to you. I adress to you with the purpose to create public interest to my project. My purpose to receive approval of the project from authorities of city and different people of have business with Opera Hause. Probably you will give me council, to whom it is necessary to me to address. -----Original Message----- From: andreysh@aha.ru To: tmisner@operahouse.com Sent: 7 àâãóñòà 2000 ã. 6:37 Dear, Tom Misner. I apologize for English, but I hope to you it will be clear. Some time back I have returned in Australian embassy in Moscow the project based on architecture Opera House, but I already for a long time do not receive the answer. I have decided to address directly to you (probably it was necessary to make at once), I expect to have be in time to make this project during realization in Sydney of Olympic Games 2000. Me call Andrew Shevchenko, I the artist, I work in a modern direction art and advertising. Recently I prepare the projects connected with architecture of different countries, I offer to the people to see modern and historical architecture with new points of view from the point of view of. The architecture Opera House is interesting and is surprising, at me the project, which was born, will attract additional attention to Opera House. I offer to create large cloths (it is possible to make in a publicity agents, where is plotter) and to stretch them on a roof Opera House. http://www.aha.ru/~andreysh/operah.htm The similar project will be interesting to all world, it will cause additional tourist interest to Opera House and Sydney. If to be in time it to make during realization of Olympic games, it will be seen by the journalists and TV from all world, which will be on an Olympiad. I always attract the sponsors for realization of the projects. I am sure, that the largest problem on it to receive not money of the sponsors, but sanction from you (or from authorities of city) on realization it art project. The various sponsors are interested in the similar scale projects (especially during an Olympiad). I think you will see perspectives connected with this project. Then it is possible to change images and to have a new kind Opera House. Now I plan to work with other countries in which architectural monuments to me are interesting, but me would like to make this project with Opera House during an Olympiad. I understand that a lot of organizing work and the time is necessary, but I already for a long time do not receive the answer from embassy of Australia in Moscow and has lost a lot of time, but if the circumstances will be good we shall have time. It is interesting to me to know your judgment about this project. It is very important to me to have your interest. Andrew Sh. www.aha.ru/~andreysh |
