woods bagot & nh architecture: melbourne convention centre

copyright major projects victoria / peter glenane photography

this summer, the new melbourne convention centre designed by woods bagot and nh architecture opened
as the first convention centre with a 6 star green star environmental rating. the architects deliberately
created a non-tradition convention centre, one that is among the world’s most environmental. the structure
sits along the city’s yarra river and holds a strip of retail shops, cafes and restaurants on a long promenade.
the building also has a 5,000 seat plenary hall that can be divided into three self-contained rooms.
attached to the new structure are a luxury hotel, as well as an office and residential building. its illustrious
environmental credentials were achieved thanks to a number of green design initiatives. among them are
solar panels, a black-water recycling plant as well as lots of natural light and ventilation throughout the
building.

really for what it is it's quite disappointing, nothing really that exceptional or unique, it seems to be bits of existing Melbourne architecture copied and clumped together.
