The Faculty of Architecture, Building and Planning at the University of Melbourne is working towards creating a world-leading centre of education and research focused on the built environment.

Following an international design competition in 2009, which attracted 133 submissions from 15 countries, the university appointed the architectural team of John Wardle Architects (Melbourne) and NADAAA (Boston) to work with them to deliver the “vision for a living, pedagogical building that is an exemplar of sustainable design and transformative teaching”.

The university has announced: “With the conclusion of the design development phase, we have reached an exciting moment in our new building project to create a landmark new building for the University of Melbourne.”

The exhibition will showcase the design schemes for our future building and reveal the collaborative design processes and research undertaken between John Wardle Architects and NADAAA.

Organized around the themes of the design competition, the exhibition will reveal the architects responses to four key concepts: built pedagogy; the academic environment; the design studio; the living building.
