Abstract

Quote: "By the 1950s BSM [Bates ,Smart & McCutcheon] was one of Australia's largest and most successful firms. Their projects were accomplished essays in modernism and many exhibited McCutcheon's concern for linking architecture with other arts, particularly sculpture and landscape design. Under his direction BSM became a leader in commercial and educational design through projects such as the Imperial Chemical Industries buildings in Sydney (1956) and Melbourne (1955-58), the MLC building, North Sydney (1957), the master plan for Monash University (1960-61) and the chancery building for the Australian embassy in Washington DC (1964). He furthered his interest in urban development as a founding member (1967) of the Australian Institute of Urban Studies and managing partner (1969) of Urban Design & Planning Associates. In 1970-76 he served on the National Capital Planning Committee."
