Throughout the 20th century Brisbane’s government precinct has been the subject of numerous planning proposals.
In 1961 the State Government’s Works Department made an overall plan for the area, envisaging a series of slab buildings on the site, of which only the Executive Building was realised.
In 1973, the architecture firm Lund Hutton Newell Paulsen was invited to redevelop the area and set up a collaboration with the American architecture firm SOM.
They planned the precinct following SOM’s Field Theory Logic, resulting in the construction of 80 George Street, which was just part of the entire scheme.
