I hope that is extremely smart glass. If not there’s going to be some air-con working overtime in a Canberra summer (36-45 degrees celsius on many days). Nice to see some shots of people making things and inhabiting the building- I hope they got course credit.

Ohh I’m sorry JL. I thought that my comment was directly exactly at that comment…

Respects context in that, clearly, as stated in the text the ‘hexagonal plan form references the adjacent Coombs Building, metaphorically connecting the new building to this important ANU landmark and its originating role in the development of international studies in Australia.’ I’m not sure the context changes just because you’re not a fan.

Very intreguing way to test any effect on concrete on a real building. Great effort, I love the intention. In close up detail the surface appears to be very seductive…

Not a fan of Lyons usually but this at least has piqued my interest.
