Melbourne Central

Melbourne Central is a very fascinating and engaging building in the heart of Melbourne. It’s primary use is a shopping centre which gaiters for individuals by offering numerus different and unusual shops. The most captivating aspect of the building is a massive dome structures which reaches into the sky to 40m

The dome it self is created by the use of steel and glass. With the use of these light weight materials the architects were able to achieve a transparent dome which seems to almost hover above you. The dome it self is about 40m wide by 40m high which in respect to other buildings in Australia is by far the largest dome structure.



The structure from the outside is also very palatable and pleasing to the eye. By the use of the dome the architects were able to make the building have a separate identity to the other high-rises which surrounds it.

The building itself is not a one feature design; the overall design of the space is just as spectacular as the dome. The interior uses many different materials, exposed steel, exposed columns and so on. It was the use of the steel and the glass that was the main focus point of this outstanding building in the middle of the city of Melbourne.
