Study Architecture 
ProPEL 
Author(s): Peter Weber
The paper examines the nature of the power structure in a large metropolitan city, as it relates to the role of the architectural profession in the urban development process. The increasingly complex regulatory and technological influences generate interactive processes in the case of large development projects; these are reviewed in the case of three projects in Sydney – the Olympic 2000 site, Circular Quay East adjoining the Opera House, and the Casino. The paper addresses the implications for architectural education of contemporary processes, and whether, in the words of the conference chair, they have contributed to a “subverting” of the conventions of place.
