Some buildings shine during the day and others at night, this been a case of the latter and if by shine you mean turning various shades of photonic goodness, the likes of which you will only see coming out of a LEE Filters Saturates pack [link].  

The aptly named bubble bridge passing over Little Lonsdale St linking the two blocks of the Melbourne Central Shopping Centre complex together was designed by ARM Architecture [link], as part of the refurbishment of the retail complex that started in 2003. The bridge was completed in 2005.

While there is no yellow submarine (but the office pods do cut a close second) or octopuses garden in the shade under this sprawling metalised and ETFC packed wave, you might just find yourself some sushi. 

The Southern Cross Station redevelopment undertaken by Grimshaw Architects [link] in association with Jackson Architecture [link] was quite the undertaking with the station fully operational during the redevelopment, which was completed in 2006. The design picked up a swag of awards, including the Lubetkin Prize [link] given to the most outstanding building outside the European Union.

Looking like a monolithic multi coloured confetti covered pinata that has taken the literal battering in the architectural critiquing department but still hasn't revealed the booty found within.

Designed by Studio 505 [link], the pixel building was completed in 2010.

Parker Design in association with Architectus, David Jones Redevelopment, Melbourne, Australia














Parker Design [link] in association with Architectus [link] have taken on the redevelopment of the David Jones flagship store in the central CBD of Melbourne.  

Looking like a more up market and geometric version of the 'Watercube' [link], that doesn't quite hold the viewers awe as the sun goes down as the latter does but even with late night shopping on Fridays taken into consideration, I don't see that been an issue for your typical David Jones punter.

The Bourke street section of the redevopment was compeleted in 2011 with the rest is still in the pipeline.
