Surgeon’s Rooms, Melbourne VIC, Australia, 2014 designed by FMD Architects
....to emphasise the parallels between the disciplines in the built form. The layered façade references the tools, prosthetics and the human frame. The design creates interplay between the 2 dimensional and 3 dimensional qualities of the X-ray, another essential analytical tool of the surgeon. The façade emphasises the thinness of an X-ray sheet, while developing a depth through layering film, steel and recycled plastic forms. As it is backlit by the interior, the façade mimics the visual qualities of the X-ray on a lightbox. -- ArchDaily
