From National Design Centre
Australia
17 July 2008 onward
Melbourne Unbuilt is an exploration of ideas in architecture over 50 years, of concepts that never materialised by which are made visible through drawings, models and maps.
Most vivid, however, will be the ‘rebuilding’ of these projects through the voices of the architects who designed them and the historians who study them.
Melbourne Unbuilt will be presented as an audio walking tour to see spaces that don’t exist.
Tour Federation Square as proposed by Denton Corker Marshall and Shane Murray (both 1996); Roy Grounds’ desire for a copper clad Performing Arts Centre Spire (1967); Edmond and Corrigan’s pyramid proposed for the State Library Competition (1986); and Daryl Jackson’s scheme to create the Venice of Melbourne (1985).
Melbourne Unbuilt is sponsored by Artemide and endorsed by the Royal Australian Institute of Architects.
