The 27,000-square-feet (2,508-square-meter) Student Pavilion is part of a wider Student Precinct on the University of Melbourne campus.

The pavilion’s design is driven by student input with insights on diversity, gender equity, well-being, and sustainability.

Beton Eisack HQ
During an expansion from 2002, the headquarters of the Beton-Eisack company in Klausen had been supplemented by a striking office building by architect Armin Blasbichler, which ever since prominently forms the entrance to the company grounds in a levitating manner. The aim of the current project was – 20 years later – to create functionally efficient and pleasant spaces that would meet the company's changed needs while providing an appropriate stage for the concrete that is being developed and produced by the company. Fundamentally new is a space for seminars and other events.

New Aarhus School of Architecture fosters workshop-style learning and spatial concepts
Bringing together ten former locations into one building, the new Aarhus School of architecture by ADEPT Architects was conceived as a living laboratory of architecture, fostering workshop-style learning and spatial concepts inside a raw, industrial building that refers to its location on a former railyard. Refined detailing, strong spatial organization and a selective material palette result in an architecture that serves as background, allowing a flexible system for activity.
Rasmus Hjortshøj
Responding to the school’s need for robust and functional spaces, the intentionally simple design allows tutors to explore new and contemporary ways of delivering architectural education. The spatial organization and in... More

Designed by Bernardo Bader Architekten, the large scale of the district administrative office and the provincial police headquarters in the foreground, along with surrounding residential buildings of the 1960’s and 1970’s, draw out the character of this new addition to the urban sphere.

Product • By Eden design • °cd
°cd
°cd is a spot, especially developed for cast concrete ceilings.
This collection of spotlights is almost invisibly integrated into the ceiling and can also be combined with a ventilation nozzle.
It offers a solution for the proliferation of surface-mounted devices for ceiling techniques; usually in various sizes and shapes, not compatible with each other.
The spots can easily be mounted in drilled or poured holes in the ceiling. An extra advantage is that the character of a concrete ceiling is additionally exposed.
You can choose between RAL colors, brass, (dark) bronze or oak finish.
A spot degree (38°) or downlight (60°) are available.
The dimming range goes from 0.1 to 100 % and it is compatible with leading and... More
