RMIT Design Hub Building 100, Melbourne, Australia
RMIT's Design Hub is a beautiful designed architectural marvel which currently houses the Department of Design (Industrial as well as visual communication) and opened in the year 2012.
It's located at the site of historic Carlton and United Breweries (Wikipedia) on the intersection of Swanston and Victoria streets. The building is all made of Galvanized steel, with some concrete and glass thrown in for beauty as well as utility.
We spent most of our time on the top floor, which has these beautiful alleys. It takes a while to get used to the unusual utilization of space, but it time you actually start loving it.
Is it a perfect building? Hell, no! But its spectacular, makes a statement and stands out beautifully in the city. As we already have numerous buildings with utility as focus, Design Hub brings in much needed freshness.
p.s. use google images to check out the facade of the building...its absolutely stunning and you won't be disappointed!
