Architecture in Melbourne

I guess I will follow the theme.

Royal Exhibition Building:

One of the oldest remaining exhibition pavilions.

Melbourne Cricket Ground:

Annual gathering place for AFL fnantics.

Flinder Street Station:

The main station for inner Melbourne trains

NAB Docklands

Giant lego block...actually Docklands in general is fairly strange. Wonderful place to photograph but pretty bad place to live in. Unless of course you like concrete and glass.

State Library of Victoria

The front lawn is the gathering place for many public protests.

Melbourne Central (Interior)

A building within a building I suppose. Used to be a shot tower in the old days. When they decided to build the new melbourne central building, instead of demolishing it, they decided to keep it by building the new building around it. It is now home to a few retail shops.

Luna Park

The entrance to Melbourne's only amusement park. I've always found it pretty creepy.

Re: Architecture in Melbourne

LOL post up some photos of architecture in Oslo and let us be the judge!

Some 'unconventional' architecture

RMIT (University) Storey Hall Exterior:


Ian Potter Museum of Art Exterior (University of Melbourne):


Federation Square:

Looking more and more like a patch-work quilt...

Melbourne Museum:

Rubix cube

Docklands (unknown building):

I love this one!
