For the purpose of this rhetorical analysis, Sydney University’s Quadrangle will be researched and analysed below.

The location of Sydney University’s historic Quadrangle is presented via map images below. The Quadrangle, located at the address of ‘The University of Sydney, NSW 2006, Australia’. Additionally, the map below presents the Quadrangle from a birds-eye perspective and detail of surrounding areas.

Through primary research and fieldwork, I have taken an image of the Quadrangle from the inside. This presents an exclusive view of the entrance and an alternative angle, which portrays the unique gothic architecture and thorough maintenance of the quadrangle lawn.

The location of The Quadrangle lies within Sydney University’s entrance from City and Parramatta Road. Classified as one of the oldest buildings that create Sydney University, the Quadrangle holds great historical significance.

Belonging within the branch of epidietic rhetoric, the Quadrangle encompasses historic characteristics which also praises its achievement as being the first building built for Australia’s first university.

Judging from extensive research, the Quadrangle was architecturally built in regards to Australia's highest standard of learning, as the importance of education was vital during the time it was built. Known as the 'Gothic Revival Buildings', the 'Quad' was built in 1855 and designed by architects Edmund Blacket and Walter Vernon. I believe their intention was to show that this is a university of high standard and delivers exceptional education to its students

Regarding the Quadrangle as a communicative text, the intended audience for this is inclusive of University staff and students. Regarded as a building with great historical importance, the Quadrangle serves as a learning and study area for students as of today.

From a subjective point of view, the Quadrangle at Sydney University evokes a historical and rewarding emotion for myself. I feel privileged to study at such a renowned university, and be able to be educated at Australia’s finest Arts and Social Sciences university. The Quadrangle is well-known for its historical architecture and its architecture is still well preserved today, as it is known as the first building to be formally recognised as Sydney University’s first.
