Incinerator Art Space — Attraction in Sydney

It doesn’t get much more historically important, or Art Deco for that matter, than the State Heritage Listed Walter Burley Griffin Incinerator. Now an Art Gallery, this 1930s classic was co-designed by the American architect Walter Burley Griffin who is well known for coming to Australia with his architect wife Marion Mahony Griffin after they jointly won the 1912 competition to design Canberra. After Canberra, the couple moved to Sydney and set up a architectural practice in addition to working on a new project – to develop the land around Middle Harbour – now known as Castlecrag.

Unfortunately, this handsome incinerator is only one of two municipal incinerators (the other in Glebe) that survive of the dozen or so that Griffin designed and built during the1930s in cities along the East Coast of Australia.

A must see for Australian history buffs and Art...

This is using paper made with natural material eg cotton, silk etc incorporated into the clay. Once fired, the paper burns away leaving a clay stronger than when it began. Really...
