  2. Sydney Football StadiumHomebush • Architect Phillip Cox combines imaginative design with an understanding of Australian style. • The Sydney football stadium has a unique, continuos encircling roof that forms a spectacular ‘saddle’ shape.

  3. Sydney Football StadiumHomebush • The external perimeter is a perfect circle. The playing field was constructed 3 metres below natural ground level to reduce the scale of the building from the outside

  4. Sydney Football StadiumHomebush • It seats 30 000 spectators. The sections of the continuos roof were made of-site and lifted into place in about two hours. Work started in 1986 and it opened in 1988.

  5. Sydney Football Stadium • The design is dynamic and innovative. There is a strong visual impact both from inside and outside the building. It is enclosed and welcoming yet not confining

  6. Other projects • His works are so extensive that they are becoming known as the Australian style of public architecture. • Maritime museum, Darling Harbour

  7. Other projects Yulara NT Melbourne Tennis centre Sydney Aquarium Darling Harbour

  8. His practice • Phillip Cox’s architecture is a reaction to our climate, landscape and society. His main inspiration is Sydney Harbour itself. He has great reverence for the Australian landscape and its sense of space. Windmills and wire fences have influenced him to keep his designs as slender as possible.

  9. His practice • Cox’s designs are dynamic and unique, particularly his roofs and rely heavily on structure and usage rather than extravagance and ornament.
