Ian Thorpe Aquatic and Fitness Centre
Ian Thorpe Aquatic and Fitness Centre is a fitness centre in Ultimo, New South Wales, a suburb of Sydney, Australia. It has three swimming pools, exercise machines, and other facilities. The centre is co-managed by the City of Sydney and the YMCA of New South Wales.〔(Ian Thorpe Aquatic and Fitness Centre ) official website (accessed 2014-02-06).〕〔(Ian Thorpe Aquatic Centre ), City of Sydney (accessed 2014-02-06).〕 Named for swimming champion Ian Thorpe, it was one of the last buildings designed by architect Harry Seidler, and is noted for its curved roof design〔Stephen Lacey, ("Harry Seidler: Australia's king of concrete and curves" ), ''The Guardian'', December 10, 2013.〕 that suggests a breaking ocean wave.
==Construction history==
In 2000 the city announced a design competition for the project, then called the Ultimo Aquatic Centre and Public Space. After receiving about 100 entries, the open competition was scrapped, and a new competition was held among three invited firms. In late 2001, a jury chose Harry Seidler's firm to continue with the project.〔("Harry Seidler wins Ultimo Aquatic Centre Architectural Competition" ), City of Sydney, December 21, 2001.〕〔Elizabeth Farrelly, ("The ripples flowing from Seidler's pool" ), ''Sydney Morning Herald'', May 7, 2002.〕
Construction was delayed due to budgetary and other concerns until 2004, when new Lord Mayor Clover Moore and the city council, responding to an energetic campaign of local residents, reversed their prior position and decided to go ahead with the full plan (then budgeted at $40 million) that had been initiated under former Lord Mayor Frank Sartor, rather than a curtailed $25 million plan that had been adopted under the intervening administration of Lucy Turnbull.〔Darren Goodsir, ("Thorpe pool gets nod after a few false starts" ), ''Sydney Morning Herald'', November 2, 2004.〕 The project was renamed in honor of Australia's Olympic swimming champion Ian Thorpe.〔("Ian Thorpe Aquatic Centre: A Victory for Citys Western Fringe!" ) City of Sydney, November 2, 2004.〕〔Justin Norrie, ("Hands-on Thorpe at new pool" ), ''The Age'', December 14, 2006.〕
Seidler died in 2006. The project was completed under the supervision of his widow, Penelope Seidler, and opened in August 2007.〔("Pool crowned with Seidler's farewell" ), ''The Australian'', August 23, 2007.〕〔("Sydney's Ian Thorpe Aquatic Centre open" ), ''Sydney Morning Herald'', August 26, 2007.〕〔("10 Things you should know about Harry Seidler" ), ''Dwell'', June 2008, p. 126.〕
