a broader audience and bringing to light a remarkably varied and complex body of work, for an architect predominantly known for the suite of buildings at the Queensland Cultural Centre. The shopfronts, experiments in off-form concrete, wheat silos, and a series of high-rise office towers are fantastically interesting in their own right and reveal an architect who was commercially savvy and continually looking for ways to refine his ideas. The documentation of these projects makes a major contribution to the current understanding of Australian architecture and exposes the depth of work produced by Gibson, far beyond the handful of well-known buildings repeatedly offered up in survey texts.

ABSTRACT The New South Wales colonial project was a land-centred enterprise that became dependent on the surveying and sale of land. The process of land alienation was a significant factor in the configuration of the colonial territory as well as the development, distribution and typologies of architecture. This article considers a building that was central to this project: the Lands Building in Sydney that housed the Lands Department, the bureaucracy responsible for implementing the governmental instruments relating to Crown land. An analysis of the building suggests that systems of governance were deeply entwined in its form, planning and use. Of particular concern is the integration of symbols and technologies of surveying and land recording that are integrated into the design of the building and its subsequent adaptation. These include the configuration and expression of the façade, the organisation of the plan, a domed observatory and measuring instruments. At stake is the reframing of the architecture of the State as a technology of governance with territorial reach.

ABSTRACT Designed by the Beaux-Arts graduates, Tehran University was founded in 1934, in the Pahlavi era (1926-79) when desires for modernisation confronted the arbitrary rule of the Iranian government. The project of the University contained all the complexities of a politically sensitive government building. It was to present an image of a modern and progressive nation to the international community. Simultaneously, the erection of the University’s first building and its site location within the Iranian Capital were illustrative of the government’s dictatorial power and control over the Iranian intelligentsia and the religious elite (the ulama). By drawing upon archival documents and photographs collected primarily from the Central Library of Tehran University, never before discussed, this research investigates the clash of political views and interests over Tehran University’s sensitive site and demonstrates the manner in which the expression of those complexities was translated and manifested through its architecture. The article simultaneously delves into the twentieth-century practice of architecture at the École des Beaux-Arts, introducing the Beaux-Arts design method as a powerful tool to negotiate the expression of state power through the University site plan and buildings.
德黑兰大学成立于1934年，由美术毕业生设计，当时正值巴列维时代(1926-79)，伊朗政府的专制统治使现代化的愿望面临挑战。这所大学的工程包含了政治上敏感的政府大楼的所有复杂性。这是为了向国际社会展示一个现代化和进步的国家形象。同时，该大学的第一座建筑的建立及其在伊朗首都的地点说明了政府的独裁权力和对伊朗知识分子和宗教精英(乌拉玛)的控制。本研究主要利用从德黑兰大学中央图书馆收集的档案文件和照片，调查了德黑兰大学敏感地点的政治观点和利益冲突，并展示了这些复杂性的表达方式被翻译并通过其建筑表现出来。文章同时深入研究了20世纪的建筑实践École des Beaux-Arts，介绍了Beaux-Arts设计方法作为一种强大的工具，通过大学的场地规划和建筑来协商国家权力的表达。

The phrases “state architecture” and “architecture of the state” today might be understood to refer not to buildings at all, but to the formal arrangements of power in sovereign states; the composition of a representative assembly, for example, and the relationship between the judiciary and the executive; the role of the bureaucracy and ministers of state and other such arrangements that define who can legitimately exercise state power. Such a usage implies that the word architecture principally denotes a diagram of functions and responsibilities. This editors’ themed issue of Fabrications is dedicated to a more expansive, but also more concrete and conventional idea of “the architecture of the state.” For the work included here, architecture unquestionably involves the design and use of buildings. Yet, each of the papers in the current issue also coveys a sense that architecture is inexorably involved in delineating relations of power. One of the abiding roles of architecture historically has been to produce designs for buildings that represent and house state functions. Official residences for heads of state, parliament buildings, courts, diplomatic missions, barracks and armouries, as well as the departmental headquarters for treasuries and other governmental functions, enact and enable state power, but they also make the state visible as an entity. Architecture is one of the ways in which states represent themselves to their citizens or political subjects and to other states. The frontispiece for the original edition of Thomas Hobbes’ Leviathan (1651) – perhaps the most explicit figure of the state produced in political philosophy – is an etching by Thomas Bosse and is dominated by a colossal figure bearing a sword and a mitre overlooking an orderly city (Fig. 1). When one looks closely at the cover, the representative role of architecture in figuring state power is obvious. Beneath the main figure are depictions of civil and ecclesiastical authority, most prominently a castle and a church. Buildings were thus presented as clear emblems of the state. Perhaps because state power is so often figured through buildings and urban ensembles, those who dispute the claims of the state have also used architecture to articulate their own relationship to power and political agency. In Australia, for example, First Nations people have created numerous tent embassies, the most famous being that established in front of the old Parliament House in Canberra from 1972.
