- a bitt suss
"Credo time. ... this space ... will go down as one of Sydney's most memorable, and one of Seidler's best. Ever." (Elizabeth Farrelly_03.05.13)

[Sydney School Houses]
[Heritage Sydney]
- vulnerable
"At Ku-ring-gai, the 1978 Sulman Award-winning UTS campus (originally a teachers' college) with its integrated landscape typical of the Sydney School, is likely to be sold and carved up for medium-density housing, although at the urging of Councillor Ian de Vulder, Ku-ring-gai Council has included it on its heritage list."
(Geraldine O'Brien, smh_03.12.15)
- seminal work
"The institute's 20th century heritage committee says that these buildings, like the State Office Block (demolished) and the AMEX building (radically altered) are too recent to be considered heritage by most people and too old to be fashionable."
(Geraldine O'Brien, smh_03.12.15)
