This project is UQ's new School of Architecture in Brisbane CBD. The focus for this building is to create a collaborative space for students and teacher as well as promoting public engagement. Aesthetically, the pixleated purple glass frit facade is inspired by the joyful and creative style of Will Alsop. This building promotes a pedestrian friendly interface by providing awning and shading. The lecture space is emphasised by a feature cladding to introduce a sense of transparency and connection to the public realm.

A few strategies were employed in the design of this building to encourage collaboration and transparency. Firstly, a large staggering atrium serves as the main vertical circulation and passive ventilation strategy. The centralised stair encourages accidental encounters which fosters student and staff interactions. Another prominent feature of the building is the three-storey tall lecture hall. The mezanine over the lecture hall and the clear glazing around it ensures that people can view into the space from the hallways, rooms or street.
