The Shrine of Remembrance, Melbourne

St Kilda Rd
Melbourne VIC 3000
- www.shrine.org.au - The Shrine of Remembrance is Victoria’s largest and most visited war memorial and is probably Melbourne’s most recognised landmark.
- Shrine of Remembrance By Norman Day, Architecture, The Age, October 20, 2003 - Where the original building is static, ordered, neo-classical, and a signature piece - organised like the military itself, proud and dignified in the way of brassy uniforms and polished boots - the new is gentle, undulating, disorientated and colourful. In the original, history was reiterated as the temple on the mound, just as the acropolis works in Greek history and the wat in Cambodia.
It was an old idea when it was built and it stays that way.
Norman Day is a practicing architect, adjunct professor of architecture (RMIT) and architect writer for The Age.
