Amazing Architecture: Melbourne Recital Center and Theater Company

These modern structures being designed and built in cities around the world may be some of the most spectacular architecture you’ll ever see.

The Melbourne Recital Center and Theater Company complex opened earlier this year and is helping to revitalize Melbourne’s gritty Southbank neighborhood. The exterior features a combination of angles, two-dimensional textures and glowing tubes. The walls inside the main performance space are covered with famous theater quotes that are illuminated when the stage is dark. The complex won the 2009 Victorian Architecture medal for best new building in Australia.
