Edmund Barton Building, Office building in Australia
The Edmund Barton Building is a large office complex located in the Australian Capital Territory.
Constructed between 1970 and 1974, it now houses various government departments.
Named after Australia's first Prime Minister, it reflects the country's political heritage.
Visitors are often intrigued by its Brutalist architecture and the role it plays in the public sector.
Known for its repetitive geometric facades, the building is an example of late 20th-century architectural trends.
