Built-Environment Learning Laboratory is the first of RMIT's SHAPE electives
initiative in which students and academics directly engage with planning and
architectural interventions in Melbourne's Central Business District. Studio
partners include the City of Melbourne, Melbourne Metro Rail Authority and
private sector sponsors. The studio is truly collaborative across
built-environment disciplines including planning, architecture, landscape
architecture, construction management and civil engineering. The studio engages
with social and economic infrastructure projects, such as planning and
designing a new station for Melbourne Metro CBD North. The studio integrates
tools, technologies and Cloud-based BIM services.Teaching Team
