mediaThekmelbourne is a proposed centre to bring together the production and consumption of digital media. The facilities for the public exhibition of mediated art will include auditoria, external broadcast screens, media booths and immersive environments. The building is conceived as a series of pods clipped to an assemblage of three overlaid structural systems, with typologically different mediated interfaces strewn along pedestrian walkways. It is sited on Melbourne CBDâs Southern edge, alongside the Yarra, reclaiming a cut away piece of the river bank. The project investigates the structural qualities of digital narrative, spatial conditions of digital environments, and explores the making of architecture as interface for engaging with digital processes.
