The unique and ever-changing façade of the new Science Gallery Melbourne – with its 226 glass bricks, each a ‘mini cinema’ – has won the international Media Architecture Award for Animated Architecture.
The Digital Bricks, conceived within Arup through an integrated design process, is the world’s highest resolution interactive display, curated to engage visitors and passers-by with multiple historic and cultural stories of the local area. Each handcrafted brick tells a different tale and was inspired by the theme, ‘If these walls could talk’.
