‘Rethinking Gothick’
With a brief to create a contemporary Gothic style bank the gothic principles of efficiency and exposure of structure were used as the basis of the design.
Taking the idea of efficiency of structure to the extreme a tensile membrane roof was utilised for the main banking chamber.
The building’s plan and elevations were based on the gothic motifs of the trefoil and flying buttress respectively.
Design as part of RMIT coursework, 2008.
