Architecture news: Letter from Australia
Lab Architecture & Bates Smart’s Federation Square
A draw-card for Melbourne, this distinctive set of structures includes gallery space for the National Gallery of Victoria, the Australian Centre for the Moving Image (ACMI) and an indoor auditorium for music and theatre. Together with shops, restaurants and bars, the development surrounds Federation Square. The Zinc-clad triangles (solid and perforated) cladding the buildings create dynamic forms. Like Melbourne’s laneways, architectural lines dart in and out of the square.
