Victorian College of the Arts Building

This building is the Victorian College of the Arts Centre for Ideas, located in Dodds Street, Southbank. The Architects for this building were Paul Minifie and Fiona Nixon. The building is 3 stories tall, and the budget for the project was only $5 million.

Digital modelling software was used in the design of this building, using virtual to actual process.
The form of the facade is an interesting element, with a strong combination of reflective materials and use of colour.

The form of the facade consists of shallow cone shapes and orthogonal fenestration. The Veronal silver system and bronze stainless steel cladding give an ambiguous scaleless-ness look to the building.
