The Australian National University (ANU) School of Music building was designed for the National Capital Development Commission in 1970 by architects Daryl Jackson and Evan Walker. Daryl Jackson's work at this time can be paralleled with the work of the US architect Paul Rudolph and his 1960s interpretations of the later work of Le Corbusier. It opened for use in 1976 and has remained the main building for the school since. The heavily sculptured forms of this building come from the phase in Daryl Jackson's work when he pursued ideas of rendering large mass in a way he called 'cubist', using common materials, particularly off-form concrete and masonry.
