Cameron Offices, Belconnen, Brutalist office building in Belconnen, Australia

Cameron Offices is an office building in Belconnen comprising three connected wings built from precast and poured concrete. The structure displays the raw, monolithic forms typical of brutalist design from the 1970s era.
History
Construction began in 1970 and was completed in 1976 as a government office complex. Only three of the original nine wings remain standing today.

The complex features the Optical Galaxy Sculpture by Canadian artist Gerald Gladstone, integrating art within the concrete architecture.
