Completed building - GMHDA, Moorabool Street, Central Geelong

I thought that this building suited the task of investigating post and beam construction very well due to its simplicity. what makes it interesting is that the outer concrete columns are left separate of the inner curtain wall, and the whole structure sits and an exposed reinforced concrete slab (below)

Below: In this shot it becomes clear that the otherwise naked reinforced concreete columns have been clad in blue aluminium sheeting.


Above: on the right hand side of this shot the load distribution is clearly evident through the cladding as both the curtain wall, concrete column and concrete roof slab can clearly be seen.
