The Age newspaper has reported that
Architect and RMIT alumnus Sean Godsell unveiled his plan for the Design Hub to BusinessDay yesterday, an innovative, landmark building for the city that has a “second skin” enveloping an eight-level tower.
The building will be on the corner of Swanston and Victoria streets, at the former CUB site. Mr Godsell has incorporated 16,000 glass-capped cylinders to mesh together a technologyheavy hide that adapts according to movement of the sun, rain and clouds.
Students and staff inside the building – which will include fashion and textile designers, industrial designers and landscape architects – as well as passers-by out on the street, will be treated to a stunning light show.
