One would be forgiven for mistakenliy believing they had stumbled into the seedier
part Montmartre [link]/The Rossebuurt [link]/Kings Cross [link] - it's funny how that just seems to just somehow happen (all the time) - but that's just how convincing the ruse by Sally Draper Architects [link] is.

Looking rather pedestrain during the day, it transforms into a completely different beast at night. The bridge located in Birrarung Marr was completed in 2003.

Looking like the progeny of Slimer from Ghostbustes [link] and Jabba the Hutt [link], the refurbishment and redesign of RMIT building 22 on the corner of Swanston St and La Trobe St by ARM Architecture [link] certainly gets your attention the first time you stumble upon it. Given the increased number of nightclubs and other such drinking establishment along Swanston St, it seems rather sympathetic to it's surroundings, particularly in the early hours of the morning.

The redesigning work on Building 22 was completed in 2011.

In a nutshell, Gordon Matta-Clarke on an constructivist LSD trip.  Reminiscent of a Rubik cube [link] filtered through a colidiscopic lens, that has gone through a few rounds of Rampage (circa 1986) and survived to tell the tale. Luckily it could be argued, they weren't playing in 2-UP mode.

The RMIT Swanston Academic Building designed by Lyons Architects [link] is located on Swanston Street, in Melbourne, Australia. The building was completed in 2012.
