Federation Square, Melbourne



This outstanding landmark in Melbourne, opposite the Flinders Station and St Paul’s Cathedral is one of the buildings in Federation Square.

Please note that NOTHING on this building IS EVEN!!

Initially, people thought the architecture of the buildings, clad with geometric shapes of sandstone, zinc and glass shards, was too angular beside the older city buildings. However, the innovatively designed buildings and cobble-stoned piazza are popular for gatherings and outdoor photo and artistic exhibitions.

I liked this stark building and especially comparing it to the old architecture of St Paul’s Cathedral in the background. And the walls ARE ALL crooked.

Note the wire lines that are attached from this building and others around it, as if to hold them upright and all together.

The tubes hanging down from the wires are lights that look like starts at night – and quite attractive they are too.
