We came up with the concept of stacking vases, where each vase acts as a container for different mixed-use element or combination of them. What benefit do the stacked volumes have for the building? The filigree colonnades will be created using glass reinforced concrete and reference other historic buildings within the Melbourne CBD The publicly accessible spaces continue at a high level with a public F&B deck above the podium which takes inspiration from successful examples in London and Hong Kong, a type of space which was missing on Collins Street.ДЄ new public laneway will connect Collins with Francis Street We can't fix it all within one development but we hope to kick-start the process and encourage more projects to provide more open public space at ground level. The building curves inward at the ground creating a new laneway and enlarging the Collins Street pavement which is needed especially in the west area of Collins Street which does not have as many pedestrian laneways as the Eastern CBD. In 600 Collins we did not have any heritage element onsite yet we worked to create a building that departs from plain curtain wall and developed a new type of facade panelling which relates to some of the CBD's historic buildings. When I first visited Collins Street I noticed that there is a very interesting architectural context yet most contemporary buildings do not respond to it, conservation generally intends to leave the historic facade intact and build a modernist building around it. How did the concept for 600 Collins Street come about and what part did local context play if any? We caught up with him to discuss 600 Collins Street, working in Melbourne and the thinking behind that unique stacked vase massing. Throughout the course of his career, Michele has led several competition winning schemes such as the dвЂ™Leedon residential complex in Singapore that received the World Gold Award for Residential High-Rise at the FIABCI World Prix DвЂ™Excellence Awards 2016.Д¬urrently, Magliano is leading a number of projects across East Asia and Oceania including 600 Collins Street for which he is project director. Michele Pasca di Magliano is Associate Director at Zaha Hadid Architects based in the United Kingdom. The $300 million mixed-use tower on Collins Street will include 420 apartments, office and retail space as well as communal public areas such as a ground floor art space, a public plaza and a publicly accessible terrace. MelbourneвЂ™s CBD will soon be home to a new skyscraper from international architecture firm Zaha Hadid Architects. Exhibitions, Associations & Information.Ceilings, Internal Wall Materials & Partitioning.This article contains previously unpublished interviews вЂ“ which examine her approach to form and space, her relation to computer-assisted design, as well as her Iraqi identity вЂ“ undertaken with Zaha Hadid by the author over a decade, as well as photographs and illustrations of her paradigmatic work that pose serious challenges and hurdles for structural engineers and builders, while engaging all those who view or encounter them to assess their own relation to space and concepts of it. Simultaneously, Hadid has met with controversy and obstacles to her single-minded approach to design and utilization of space in both Europe and the Arab world. She is the recipient of some of architectureвЂ™s most prestigious awards including the Pritzker Prize. Originally more famous for her designs and un-built works, those which have been constructed or are on the verge of completion span the globe from China to Azerbaijan to Europe, the US and вЂ“ more recently вЂ“ the Arab world. At the same time, HadidвЂ™s work вЂ“ she studied under Rem Koolhaas вЂ“ is infused on multiple levels with her Arab culture and identity. HadidвЂ™s work, which often defies description, draws on a diverse palette of influences including Soviet Constructivism, Suprematism, and what her colleague Patrick Shumacher has termed вЂParametricismвЂ™. After a startling and meteoric rise to fame, Arab Iraqi-born architect Zaha Hadid is one of the most sought after and in-demand architects of the twenty-first century.
