Melbourne

Great design inspires and energizes me by Richard

The whole building is designed in one simple and logical gesture. Brilliant work by Zaha Hadid, again.

Zaha Hadid Architects along with BVN Donovan Hill have proposed a dramatic folding roof for Melbourne’s iconic Flinders Street Station, design competition. The bold linear form covers the concourse, letting natural ventilation and light to penetrate through, as it weaves in and out across the site. the scheme respects the existing heritage station by reviving its inherent properties.

More than just a train station, the design focuses around a multi-mode transport hub and attractive city destination, creating a distinguished mark on Melbourne's skyline.
