The Glasshouse, Melbourne VIC
Architecture distinguishes itself from the mere act of
building by hard won refinement. One offers polish where
the other simply meets obligations. There is a thoughtful
quality to good design contributing to more efficient
operation and enjoyable experience.
In this regard the new Glasshouse centre, created
principally as support operations and Headquarters L.C.
of the AFL’s Collingwood Football Club is a robust example
of the sports genre: a lightweight, slenderized envelope
and large, clutter-free interiors are connected by clear
planning and the kind of assured window program only
some architects and few builders seem to get.
