TitleIpswich's Architectural LegacyDate Created2nd September 2024Program Chasing Our PastIntervieweeDaniel KeenanInterviewerMelanie RushHostDeannah ViethAcknowledgementIpswich Libraries City Design BranchDescriptionJoin Melanie Rush, Ipswich Libraries Digital Archivist in conversation with Daniel Keenan, fourth generation Ipswichian and heritage architect as they reflect on Danny’s long career championing heritage and his love of architecture and design.
Interspersed with personal stories Danny will also share information about Ipswich City Council’s Heritage Advisor service and comment on the future of heritage in Ipswich.About the PresenterDanny left Ipswich in the mid 1970's to study Architecture at the University of Queensland. Over the next 30 years he worked in both private and public spheres. The majority of his career has been spent championing heritage and design in local government planning departments. Danny lived in Phoenix USA for several years in the early 2000's, which gave him an appreciation of the harsh beauty of the desert and the impact of large-scale urban sprawl in a sensitive environment. He returned to Ipswich almost 14 years ago and finds a great deal of pleasure and satisfaction in aiding to preserve the buildings that inspired his love of architecture.
Danny’s family have lived in the hills of Woodend for over 120 years, “I grew up in a house which was our family home for six generations. Almost all of those generations were baptised, educated, married and buried at St. Mary's Catholic Church. Four generations worked at the Ipswich Railway Workshops. This is not an uncommon story in Ipswich where heritage is a lived experience – the places we live, learn, worship, work and play. Perhaps these strong family roots, multi-generational experiences in the city and its institutions have helped Ipswich retain its strong identity both physically and as community."Asset TypeWebinar / Talk - MP4Music, Audio and Video (Trove mapping field)lectureSound RecordingYesCopyright NoticeThis licence lets you download, redistribute, translate, and remix the work, for NON-COMMERCIAL purposes only.
