South Lawn car park, Heritage parking structure at University of Melbourne, Australia.
The underground parking facility features curved concrete shells with parabolic profiles supported by columns that incorporate drainage pipes for lawn irrigation.
The South Lawn car park was constructed between 1971 and 1972 following the university Campus Master Plan prepared by Bryce Mortlock in 1970.
The east entrance displays a preserved door from a 1745 Dublin house, while the west entrance incorporates Atlas figures from a former Colonial Bank.
The parking structure remains closed for vehicles due to ongoing metro rail works, but maintains bicycle storage facilities for university users.
Engineer Jan van der Molen designed interconnected hyperbolic-paraboloidal platforms that allow large trees to grow on the roof structure.
