RMIT School of Aerospace, Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering Building
The design studio focuses simultaneously on two interwoven investigations; experimenting with a ‘process-based’ design approach and developing speculative design propositions for contemporary tertiary learning environments.
The project proposed a new building for the RMIT School of Aerospace Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering on the Bundoora Campus incorporating a series of condensed laneway spaces. The laneways contain cafes and classrooms accessible from and spilling out to the external open spaces and landcsape. A series of ramps were developed to link the different levels which contained desks, study spaces, gathering and spill out space. The project incorporates a series of lecture theatres clustered around a central courtyard.
