Tutorial 1 - Excellence in Construction Technology

I am a very big fan of "high tech" architectucture and construction produced by the likes of Norman Foster and Zaha Hadid, therefore i sought out a building that displayed an attempt at the "high tech". Living in Melbourne i decided to walk the streets and observe the many buildings of great architectural design. Seeking steel construction, initially the atrium at Federation Square came to mind but i didn't feel it consumed enough of the site to be a major part of the overall site. Therefore, i wondered up to the QV precinct but got a big fat "NO" to taking photos within the Sensis Building (hmmm...Grocon own the whole block and don't allow photography without written proof from a head of department at the University, too tedious) Then across the road i found a building i constantly pass through but don't tend to look up often enough...although design isn't to the highest creative level the construction of the old Diamaru Cone (Now the Melbourne Central Cone) is quite and inspiring sight, and with the historic Shot Tower in the middle it's quite an amazing contrast in technologies.
