RMIT Design Hub


The RMIT Design Hub houses research, archive, exhibition and studio space of the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology in Melbourne, Australia. Completed in May 2012 the Design Hub was designed by Sean Godsell Architects in association with Peddle Thorp Architects. The Design Hub is located on the historic Carlton & United Breweries site. The building featured prominently in the science fiction film "Predestination". One of the unusual features of the facade of the Design Hub is that it has the capability of collecting solar energy throughout most of the day,

panels as the technology continues to develop. Research groups can now use this building to experiment and develop the technology, using its northern facade, dedicated to this research. The interior of the Design Hub is designed to encourage the various research groups to ‘cross pollinate’ ideas with each other, regardless of the relevance between each other’s fields of practice. This therefore provides a learning environment which should create innovation in design for years to come. Influences which addressed the choice in materials of the interior, include RMIT being an
