Office Buildings
Sydney has surprisingly high proportion of quite world class office buildings (albeit on a typically smaller scale than in the USA and elsewhere).
In Victorian times the American Renaissance Commercial Palazzo (see THE COMMERCIAL PALAZZO)  was the norm. This survived comparatively late (due to- conservative Australian nature, small scale of buildings, lack of need for setbacks, etc) and subsequently Art Deco was never huge here.
Australia launched fully into Modernism quite early and has remained there ever since.
