MLC Centre, Modernist skyscraper in Sydney, Australia
The MLC Centre rises 228 meters high with an octagonal floor plan supported by eight load-bearing columns that taper towards the top.
The construction period from 1972 to 1977 required the removal of several structures, including the Australia Hotel and the original Theatre Royal.
The skyscraper earned the Sir John Sulman Medal from the Australian Institute of Architects for its white concrete design and architectural excellence.
The building contains 67 floors above ground, 26 elevators, and a shopping center in the podium level with the renovated Theatre Royal.
The structure held the title of Australia's tallest building for nine years until Melbourne's Rialto Towers exceeded its height in 1986.
