Discover Zaha Hadid’s Legacy in Australia

Architect Zaha Hadid, who passed away in March 2016, adds a $300m mixed-use tower in Melbourne to her legacy of impressive works that challenge the norm and push boundaries.
Victorian Planning Minister Richard Wynne has given the green light to what will be the only building in Australia designed by Hadid.
Located at 582-606 Collins St, the 54-story tower is being developed by local company Landream, with the design set to be a collaboration between Zaha Hadid Architects and Melbourne's Plus Architecture.
True to Hadid's artistic style, the tower is designed to resemble stacked 'vases' and each vase tapers to be smaller than its base, creating usable areas at each junction. The tower is sure to make an impression on the city and ehance the skyline.
The project was allowed to exceed the plot ratio in exchange for contributions to the public realm. The design comprises of 420 one, two and three-bedroom apartments and 10,000sqm of commercial and retail space and provides for 6,000sqm of public space.
The public areas includes a ground floor art space, a public plaza to Collins St, a pedestrian link between Collins St and Francis St and a publicly accessible terrace level.
With sustainability in mind, the tower is designed to use 50 per cent less energy than a conventional mixed-use tower. The facade that envelopes the building contributes to a reduction in the direct solar gain of the building and emissions.
The design also offers parking bays for electric vehicles and shared cars as well as 350 bicycle spaces. The location promotes the use of public transport as it is on tram routes and opposite Spencer Street railway station.
A high performance glazing system, high efficiency central cooling system and high efficiency lighting and grey-water reuse systems are also proposed to reduce consumption of resources and further lower the emissions.

This building looks amazing!

[@rubenpietermark7923]

Great video. Content suggestion: you can do cinematics with 3D buildings in Google Earth; they made it an accessible feature. Imo you needn't focus on new buildings, older skyscrapers have their charm.

[@dinocogaming7912]

It's a nice feature but sadly it only works with some countries not including China, UAE, Russia, or most of Asia.

[@CitiesoftheFuture]

Nice idea! we will be using that and some open street data for our new videos! Check out our channel!

[@RothtvChannel]

Outstanding, iconic, significant, unique, timeless. WOW

[@skyscraperworld3173]

Amazing

[@isfet5149]

Near Spencer Street? Duh, Collins intersects Spencer. I'll read the description next time!

[@Aaronaa4]

Let us know what you think about late Zaha Hadid’s skyscraper?

[@meowpoosaymeow]

Dude, did you stop making videos?

[@CitiesoftheFuture]

@@meowpoosaymeow We hope not! they will probably come back soon :)

[@paulJkiely]

Nice . Similar to their current project in Hong Kong czcams.com/video/kKxXEYYPtSk/video.html

Awesome skyscrapers, isn't it more than just a beautiful building, the safety of people inside the beautiful building, I remember 911 and there was no way down from the skyscraper and people where jumping out windows, I figure something is better than nothing, if we added a quad slide that goes around the skyscraper from top to bottom or to other rooftops for emergencies only and still give the building a beautiful look, it's just an idea for the people who work or live in skyscrapers, a safety feature they never had before

[@jamisonsmith2648]

Not small slides, I'm talking huge slides, so people can get out of the building fast and safely

[@jamisonsmith2648]

The slides have walls and roofs from the stackable slides and the one on top has a roof, emergency only

[@MultiLumy]

красивый и стильный

[@originaluddite]

Looks great but I'm pretty sure the lobby will be 'spacious'. ;)

[@keepingthefaithalive]

I wonder what are you planning when you hit 100K...maybe a 100k subs special, idk it's up to you, it's your channel by the way

[@CitiesoftheFuture]

We have been following them for a while now! We hope to hit 100k too soon! :)

[@georgiasnewhorizonofficial4084]

take video at tbilisi city axis twin towers!

[@jamisonsmith2648]

Every floor has a double door that opens up and you drop down onto the slide with no problems, something is better than nothing, hope that you get to go home to your family when something bad happens, cause you never know when that might happen

[@TheShpmusic]

No good when half the population is diagnosed with homelessness.😁😂😀

[@LudicrousTorpedo]

Yeah,your right

[@TheShpmusic]
