RMITNew Media Building

DESIGN BRIEF:

Our design is a new Media Building for RMIT. Our design intention is to respond to the neighbouring context. There is a residential building behind the new Media Building. With respond to this context, we don’t want to block the residence’s view. Therefore, our building becomes a vertical garden where the façade is wire mesh and permeable to see.

Our school is in the heart of Melbourne Carlton, our media building is an innovative and dynamic educational institution that is dedicated to inspiring their students. We’ve also aimed to incorporate nature within the design to assist with a peaceful and calm intention for the users.

The renders provided are to help visualise this intention. In addition to this we also have a ETFE façade to allow film projection of the students work to create opportunities for the building to interact with the public. The following render also shows a glimpse of the vertical garden and different articulation of all levels and how they can interact and open together in its individual uniqueness.

It is a 10-storey high building that is also sustainable with water tanks, strategic sunlight approach and a double façade system with passive ventilation that optimises the temperature throughout the year.

Our goal was to create a projectable façade that faces the main streets of Bouverie and Queensberry. This façade not only showcases the media building but also emphasizes transparency to reflect the openness of our concept

Our concept revolves around creating a vertical garden city within a city. We prioritize passive ventilation and openair techniques while fostering interaction among study spaces. Additionally, we incorporate a natural study space and ensure smooth circulation throughout the building.
