Dr Chau Chak Wing Building, Sydney

Something different for today, four photos devoted to a single building: the Dr Chau Chak Wing Building.

 

As the first Australian building designed by Frank Gehry, the celebrated Canadian architect, the Dr Chau Chak Wing Building is a flagship project of University of Technology Sydney’s billion-dollar-plus City Campus Master Plan.

 

It provides teaching, learning, research and office accommodation for the Business School – as well as extensive public spaces – across 11 occupied floors. While it is available to all students, it has a focus on postgraduate and executive education, and bringing UTS researchers together.

 

The building is named for Australian-Chinese businessman and philanthropist Dr Chau Chak Wing, who donated $20 million to the project, along with an additional $5 million for Australia-China scholarships. Dr Chau Chak Wing’s son studied architecture at UTS.
