Victoria has launched the $1 million international Flinders Street Station precinct design competition, hoping to attract the world’s best architects to Melbourne.
The competition is calling for the ‘world’s best ideas to restore and reinvigorate’ the Flinders Street Station precinct, including the station concourse, platforms and historic administration building and through to the Banana Alley Vaults and Queensbridge.
This precinct calls for creative brilliance from across the globe so a Melbourne landmark site can be restored to its full potential. This competition will harness the very best ideas and help bring the precinct back to life.
The panel which would decide on the competition winner will include:
– Geoffrey London (Victorian Government Architect – panel Chair)
– a Melbourne architect
– a City of Melbourne planning representative
– an architect with heritage experience
– a representative from the Victorian Department of Transport
– three other members (to be determined)
The $1 million prize pool will help attract the very best architects and designers from Australia and abroad.For more information and updates on the Flinders Street Station Design Competition please visit www.mpv.vic.gov.au and follow the competition on twitter or Facebook.
