Melbourne Architecture : Buildings

Key Australian Architectural Developments in Victoria



Buildings in Melbourne

We've selected what we feel are the key examples of Melbourne Architecture. We aim to include buildings that are either of top quality or interesting, or ideally both.

We cover completed buildings, new building designs, architectural exhibitions and architecture competitions across Victoria. The focus is on contemporary Melbourne buildings but information on traditional buildings is also welcome.

We have 3 pages of Melbourne Architecture selections with links to hundreds of individual project pages.

The Infinity Centre Melbourne - 22 Apr 2013
The idea of infinite learning became the mantra. Radiating out from the library, along the length of the form, are specialist precincts and a variety of learning spaces. Each wing of the building then returns to link up, forming cloisters and the resulting plan of an infinity symbol. Being structured around two protected courtyards has enhanced the learning space’s access to light, ventilation and view.

Swanston Academic Building - 26 Nov 2012
This new building, called the Swanston Academic Building, is an idea about building a vertical campus and drawing the diversity of the city deeply in to the design conception. As student space is not available like a green campus, the project proposes a vertical ‘stack’ of informal ‘open’ student spaces, each connected to a central circulation system of escalators and stairs.

Mash House North Fitzroy - 14 Nov 2012
The approach taken for the Mash House is one which, despite first impressions, celebrates the backyard. Or perhaps less so the traditional notion of the backyard, and more so just plain, outdoor space. The original deep and dark, double-fronted Victorian house offered a plethora of challenges; not least of all, it’s lack of solar access.
