Welcome to the St Leonards Centre, Sydney, 1972

Here's a rather wonderful document from the opening of the St Leonards Centre in Crows Nest, Sydney.





Designed by architects Kerr & Smith, this sculptural brutalist number opened in 1972, and this brochure for banking corporation CBCgives some idea of the modern wonders that will be contained within – namely advanced investment in computerisation and automation.





As the spreads show, it was designed complete with lozenge-shaped windows and was originally furnished with all of the moulded plastic furniture you could ever wish to see.
