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. It is an icon of design innovation heralding a new era of integrating technology with design.〔http://architectureau.com/articles/rmit-design-hub〕 The Design Hub is located on the historic Carlton & United Breweries site. The building featured prominently in the science fiction film Predestination.
==Description==
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 as the surface is covered in operable disks. Although, as of 2013, there are no solar panels installed, it has the capability to accommodate this technology in the near future with its facade system.〔http://www.pta.com.au/blog/?p=4072〕 To achieve harvesting energy at an optimum level, ganged disks are fitted with an actuator which will allows the disks to be exposed to the sun as much as possible.〔http://www.pta.com.au/blog/?p=4072〕 With the current material of sandblasted glass, the disks operate as a 'second skin' controlling solar gain and access. An internal computer controls this facade by adjusting each cell with rotational motors, according to Melbourne’s daily weather. Additional self-sustaining features include the underground water tank, which stores grey water for re-use including flushing toilets, mechanical cooling requirements, and irrigation.〔http://www.rmit.edu.au/capitalworks/designhub〕
The Design Hub consists of two buildings with a central forecourt in between; One building is for research and archives and the other for exhibitions and working spaces. However, the buildings are connected at basement level to allow delivery, movement and storage of items. The planning of both buildings is organised in a linear manner around closed service rooms and cores. The design sought simple clean continuous space upon entering the building leading to curiosity and exploration to other spaces. The spaces are fairly large and open due to the choice of materials. The circulation of the building is surrounded by long corridors which can also be transformed into gallery spaces where works can be hung on the walls. High ceilings, narrow corridors and control of light within the space gives a very dramatic atmosphere into the interior. Part of the open plan design is the arrangement of furniture which can be moved around depending on the usage of space. Another key feature of the building is flexibility of spaces. The Research groups will be able to locate their work out of the warehouse rooms.〔Miki Perkins, 12 October 2011 (Smart sequins distinguish uni design hub ) The age. Retrieved 26 April 2013〕
