Biography

Educated at Trinity Grammar School, Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology and Melbourne University, he founded a practice in 1950 that combined modern, high-technology materials with concern for "emotional functionalism," or the impact of the built environment on its occupants.[ citation needed ] His design for an environmentally adapted Mallee Hospital was lauded by critic Robin Boyd as the beginning of a new Australian architecture. In 1953, he founded the McIntyre Partnership Pty Ltd. where he served as practice director, principal and senior partner.[ citation needed ]

McIntyre formed a partnership with architects John and Phyllis Murphy and Kevin Borland and in collaboration with engineering consultant Bill Irwin, they designed the Melbourne Olympic Swimming pool in 1952. He was also the architect for the redevelopment of the pool to the Lexus Centre. [2] In 1972, McIntyre formed an additional partnership with George Connor and Donald Wolbrink and form International Planning Collaborative (Interplan). He wrote the 1973 Strategy Plan for the City of Melbourne, which limited high rise development to its eastern and western shoulders. Key projects include McIntyre River Residence, Parliament Station, The Jam Factory Complex in South Yarra, Westfield Knox in Wantirna South and the creation of the Dinner Plain Alpine Village near Mount Hotham, Victoria. [3] He was the Professor of Architecture at Melbourne University between 1988 and 1992 and has won numerous awards. His wife Dione is also an architect. [4]
