Edmond & Corrigan's RMIT Building 8
Description
RMIT University's Building 8 is a multi-level education exchange engaging in the idea of uniting opposites. It demurs to Melbourne’s built past: memories of Walter Burley Griffin, the Manchester Unity, the Block Arcade, the Shrine et alia are fleetingly seen in its aesthetic. It was described by a national architectural commentator as a building that 'thinks it’s a city.' The building is widely recognised nationally as being distinctly Melbourne in character and ideas.
