Argus Centre, Postmodern office building in Melbourne, Australia
The Argus Centre stands 144 meters tall with 34 floors, featuring geometric shapes and an elliptical cone bridge connecting to the adjacent building.
Nonda Katsalidis designed this AUD 64 million structure in 1991, marking a shift in Melbourne's architectural development during the early 1990s.
The building reflects the evolution of Australian architecture through its combination of rectilinear forms and contemporary Spanish influences in the business district.
The structure contains 520 parking spaces across 10 levels and houses Telstra offices from floors 17 to 34, with public access to ground floor areas.
The sloping car park design creates distinct visual perspectives, while the rotunda features two separate cafe areas divided by the main foyer.
