This week on The Sydneyist:

SYDNEY’S FIRST SKYSCRAPER
The first AMP building at Circular Quay was designed by Graham Thorp,
of Peddle Thorp and Walker 
and opened by the Prime Minister Sir Robert Menzies in 1962.

The first building to breach the statutory 150-foot height limit, 
it was elegant, self-possessed and remarkably prescient, being cooled by seawater.

Now it has been fully, glamorously refurbished.
Former Assistant NSW Government Architect 
ANDREW ANDERSONS 
knew and admired Graham Thorp, later became a partner in Peddle Thorp and Walker and is a walking encyclopaedia on all things Sydney.

Andrew joins Elizabeth Farrelly this Thursday on 
The Sydneyist
to discuss the building, its significance in marking Sydney’s coming of age 
and its recent refurbishment.
