                  <text>This Collection illustrates how medievalism has always existed â€˜in plain viewâ€™ in Australian public life, as a conspicuous cultural memory ghosting Australiaâ€™s modernity. It focuses on discourses about, debates over, and changing interpretations of i) Australiaâ€™s medievalist political and religious institutions and rituals, ii) its architecture, and iii) its civic environment. In this Collection are items relating to all three of these key areas. Firstly, you will find items that point to the medieval influences and inflections that still permeate and influence our political, legal and religious institutions and traditions. Secondly, you will find numerous examples of neo-gothic and neo-romanesque architecture, and some cases where architectural features are known to have been modelled on specific medieval buildings. Thirdly, you will find items relating to the ways in which medievalism is incorporated into our civic environments and expressed through statues, monuments and war memorials.</text>

                <text>&lt;p&gt;The Gledden Building is in the Perth CBD and was designed by architect Harold Boas. It was built in 1937 and 1938, and is named after Robert Gledden who had gifted the land that the building is on to The University of Western Australia in 1927. The building is in the Art Deco style, and was inspired by New York skyscrapers and the Tribune Building in Chicago. The style of the building has also been termed &amp;lsquo;Commercial Gothic&amp;rsquo; and the upwards trajectory of the building is similar to that found in Gothic churches. Medievalist features include a parapet and a nod towards crenellation at the top of the building, whilst the two-storey corner tower includes semi-circular arched windows in the top storey and buttresses.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
