Dr Chau Chak Wing Building, University building in Ultimo, Sydney, Australia
The Dr Chau Chak Wing Building features an exterior made of 320,000 custom-designed bricks arranged in undulating patterns across its twelve floors.
Construction of this $180 million educational structure began in late 2012 and reached completion in November 2014, with its official opening in February 2015.
The building represents Frank Gehry's first Australian project, incorporating his vision of a treehouse structure to foster collaborative learning environments.
This facility accommodates 1,256 students and 326 academic staff members with specialized classrooms, research facilities, and collaborative workspaces.
The exterior design resembles a folded paper structure, featuring both sandstone-colored bricks and glass panels that create irregular geometric patterns.
