The construction of the University of Melbourne FABP has been very exciting and we are glad to see it actively documented through time lapse cameras, a university blog and video series. The latest video by the university captures John Wardle and Nader Tehrani’s visit to the site as the building nears completion. We can’t wait to share the finished project.

Comments Off on Nearing Completion
Over the last month, construction of Melbourne University FABP celebrated two major milestones. One being the removal of the supports for the 40 foot cantilever and the other, the installation of the coffered roof which has been an intricate and coordinated process to bring on site and install. You can already start to experience the spatial impact of these two elements.

Comments Off on Melbourne Coffered Roof
A large section-model of our proposed design for the University of Toronto Daniels Faculty of Architecture and Urban Design was commissioned for an on-site exhibition. Challenged by an extremely fast delivery schedule, the model was an opportunity to flex our digital design and fabrication capabilities.
The 7’x3′ landscape is cut on our CNC router out of laminated fiber board.
The model base incorporates a internal steel frame for strength and rigidity.
Model pieces are cut on the router, cleaned, and arrayed for ease of assembly
A system of interlocking joints ensures strong, accurate connections and incredibly rapid assembly.
The model is pegged, clamped, and glued like a robust piece of furniture.
The completed model on display at the University of Toronto Faculty of Architecture and Landscape Design.
Many parts of the model, like the roof surface, required milling on both sides.
A laser-cut jig was used to accurately position the decorative fins on the north facade of the building.

The cantilever on University of Melbourne FABP in the process of erection: a one week process. Soon hereafter, it will be covered by the same pre-cast panels as the rest of the building. The diagonal strut will remain exposed behind the layer of vertical louvers. Stay tuned!
