The Monash School of Biological Science project embraces our environmental responsibility to adapt existing building stock and in doing so addresses the question of what it means to re-skin an existing 1960’s modernist building in a contemporary manner.
The project was undertaken as a collaboration between Kosloff Architecture, artist Callum Morton and Monash Art Projects (MAP). Norman Disney & Young (NDY), Wood and Grieve Engineers and Arup were also involved from conception until completion. Collectively, the focus was to deliver a building that performed exceptionally well environmentally, with upgraded services to future proof capability and an enduring outcome that contributed to the university?s public art strategy. Nineteen other specialist consultants also contributed.
Located on Innovation Walk, the existing building sits alongside several other modernist buildings of the same era, as well as more contemporary additions. Conceived as a ?curtain?, the new façade hangs from above and is lifted at various points along the ground plane to allow a glimpse behind of an array of custom coloured glazed bricks at the pedestrian level.
Entry into the building is through a portal designed in collaboration ...
