Timeline

1921

Harold Bryce Mortlock, LFRAIA, (14 October 1921 – 3 July 2004) was an Australian architect and planner, alongside Sydney Ancher, Stuart Murray and Ken Woolley.

His career spanned the era which saw the consolidation of modern Australian architecture.

His two best known projects include the Sulman Award winning Badham House in Sydney's Cronulla and the Engineering Precinct at Sydney University.

He was also responsible for the University of Melbourne master plan.

Mortlock was born in Lithgow on 14 October 1921.

His father was an engineer at the local steel works, and died when Mortlock was still young.

His mother moved the family to live with relatives in Sydney, in the suburb of Five Dock.

Watching the local boat builders there fostered Mortlock's interest in design and construction.

He built several boats while still at school.

During World War II, Mortlock traveled to Canada to train as a pilot with the Royal Canadian Air Force.

1945

He returned to Australia in 1945 in anticipation of service in the Pacific theatre - but the war ended before he could be posted for combat.

After leaving the air force he enrolled in the School of Architecture at the University of Sydney.

There he studied under architect Leslie Wilkinson and the artist Lloyd Rees, who taught architectural history and freehand drawing.

During his studies Bryce met Sydney Ancher – one of the first Australian architects to embrace International style Modernism.

He started working with Ancher while still a student.

1950

Mortlock graduated with first class honours in 1950, winning the University Medal and a travelling scholarship.

This allowed him to work and study in Britain and Europe.

He moved to Vernon Street, Cammeray, with his new wife Peggy in 1950, shortly after returning from overseas.

As two of the first residents of that area, the Mortlocks confronted the North Sydney Council who had begun clearing the bush land fronting Long Bay.

The Mortlocks managed to convince the Council to stop this destruction, and over the next four decades they cared for the public land near their home – tirelessly cutting the Lantana and balloon vine that grew in the wake of the clearing.

Eventually the Council came to embrace Mortlock's attitude to the preservation of the bush land.

Bushcare Group networks were set up and Bryce himself became a local volunteer coordinator.

The Royal Australian Institute of Architects' (RAIA) National President Warren Kerr on Bryce Mortlock: "Bryce Mortlock was well-known for his energetic support of the architectural profession and the RAIA, and for his willingness to speak out on matters of importance, especially as they affected good design," Mr Kerr said.

1952

Upon his return, Mortlock and Stuart Murray took up full-time work with Sydney Ancher's firm in 1952.

Eight years later he won the Sulman Award for the Badham House at Cronulla.

Bryce's design reflected the firm's adherence to the International style, while anticipating the so-called ‘Sydney Regional’ style with which the firm would become associated over the next decade.

1964

After Ken Woolley joined them in 1964, Ancher and Mortlock set up offices in Ridge St, North Sydney, establishing the well-known Sydney firm Ancher, Mortlock and Woolley.

The firm completed innovative designs for town houses and flats at Wollstonecraft and Cremorne.

1968

Mortlock was also appointed Master Planner for the University of Melbourne in 1968.

1970

In 1970 Mortlock, in partnership with others, applied his interest in planning and the need for increasing density to the drafting of a Building Code for North Sydney Council.

By that time Mortlock had been living locally for 40 years.

"The contributions he made as the RAIA’s NSW Chapter President from 1970–1972 and RAIA National President from 1975–1976 Will Long be remembered".

"He was also widely known as a talented architect of the highest order, who justly received awards for his work on more than one continent."

Mortlock was awarded the Alfred Bossom Medal
