EVENTS  STATE OF DESIGN FESTIVAL - RMIT URBAN CAMPUS TOURS Design For Everyone: RMIT Urban space Presented by Peter Elliott Architects State of Design, Victoria's Design Festival, 2008 RMIT Urban spaces postcard series uncovers some of the hidden 'designed' urban spaces for which Melbourne is becoming increasingly known. RMIT was founded in 1885, with the opening of the Francis Ormond Building in Latrobe Street (known then as the Working Men's College). Overtime, RMIT has grown to occupy an entire city block and beyond. The campus contains many notable individual buildings, each reflecting the different generations of development (for instance Storey Hall & Building 8). Over the last 10 years the city campus has undergone a metamorphosis. The urban spaces project has transformed the city campus from a fortress like collection of cluttered streets, laneways and courtyards dominated by cars, into a pedestrian friendly network of open space that has been opened up to the city. It is now a delightful haven for students, staff and the public – a hidden piece of the city re-found. Discover how architecture and urban design fuses with life in a vibrant city. Dates: Wednesday 16 July - Thursday 24 July 2008 Postcards available at: The State Library of Victoria Melbourne Museum Federation Square & RMIT City Campus RMIT Campus Architecture Projects: RMIT Urban Spaces Project - Stage One Architects: Peter Elliott Architects in association with The City of Melbourne, CIty Projects Division Completed: 2000 NEWS RMIT CITY CAMPUS WINS LORD MAYORS PRIZE RMIT Openline News, June 30, 2000 RMIT University's Vice-Chancellor, Professor David Beanland, and the University have been awarded the Royal Australian Institute of Architects (RAIA) Victoria Lord Mayor's Prize. Professor Beanland, who was presented with the prize by the Victorian president of the Royal Australian Institute of Architects, Ian McDougall, at last Thursday's RAIA Victoria architecture awards at Colonial Stadium, said he was delighted and honoured to receive the award. The Lord Mayor's Prize recognises the leadership and outstanding contribution of Professor Beanland and RMIT University for the Visionary Design Strategy for the University's City Campus. It was awarded to Professor Beanland and RMIT University for: · The use of modern architecture that integrates and challenges the University's historical context; · The University's implementation of a brave business master plan that creates new open space while knitting together existing open spaces; · Extroverting of the University's previously introverted (City) Campus; · The development of a pedestrian precinct; · The inclusive nature of the project which worked with the City and other key stakeholders; · The internationalisation of RMIT University through its students. "RMIT University has always been a different university. One that is relevant, responsive and outward-looking and this is reflected in our architecture," Professor Beanland said. "RMIT University prepares graduates for employment, life-long learning and active citizenship. Our students, graduates and staff are expected to contribute creatively, critically and responsibly to their professions and society. "The Lord Mayor's Prize acknowledges the commitment we have made to give professionally and aesthetically to the communities in which we work". + | ||||||||
