RMIT Design Hub, University building in Carlton, Australia
The building exterior features 17000 circular glass panels covering the facade, forming a dynamic surface that responds to weather conditions.
The RMIT Design Hub, designed by Sean Godsell Architects and completed in 2012, stands on the former Carlton & United Breweries location.
The structure contains research archives, exhibition spaces, and studios that facilitate collaboration between different design disciplines within RMIT University.
Students and researchers access advanced technological facilities across two connected buildings, with dedicated areas for storage and item transportation.
The automated circular panels on the exterior rotate according to Melbourne weather forecasts, providing thermal efficiency and future solar energy integration potential.
