Soffit of original 1977 Knox City car park structure. Columns have capitals and drop panels in the slab to resist shear at these locations (i.e. the columns 'punching through' the floor slab).
This method was commonly used in the 1970's and 1980's. Standard formwork squares were used in the waffle layout to simplify formwork in construction.
Soffit of waffle slab used to build Myer Highpoint, which was completed in 1975. This floor slab system was used to build a number of Myer stores around the suburbs of Melbourne in the 1970's. Note the thickened drop panels around the columns, which are incorporated to prevent failure by the slab punching through at these locations. This is a four level building with this additional floor beneath for car parking.
Interestingly the lower level of the original section of the main shopping centre has an exposed floor slab which reveals a band beam structure; it appears only the Myer store used this system.
Soffit of Myer Dandenong car park, opened in 1974 along with the adjacent store. Both buildings are built using this flooring system, although the Myer store has square columns and a different drop panel arrangement around the tops of the columns compared to the capitals used here.
This was the first multi-level car park in Dandenong and has five levels. The middle level was once fenced off for staff parking and storage but is now open for general use.
Soffit of car park floor slab where extension meets original. The original structure is the 1970's Waffle Slab at the rear (with round columns) and the extension at the front is the simpler Band Beam structure with square columns.
Former headquarters of The Age newspaper in Spencer Street between Lonsdale and Little Lonsdale Streets, which is awaiting demolition to make way for several apartment towers. This shot is of demolition progress in August 2014.
Previously located in Collins Street, The Age moved to this newly completed building in 1969. The building included a load bearing roof to enable the landing of helicopters in top - something it was never used for. The Spencer Street site housed both editing and printing until 2003 when a new purpose built printing centre opened at Tullamarine. Editing moved to a new building a short distance away on the corner of Spencer and Collins Streets in 2009.
With declining profits for Fairfax papers the Tullamarine printing facility was closed in April 2014, a little over a decade after the $220 million plant opened. Coinciding with the closure of Chullora in Sydney, it was part of a shift of the The Sydney Morning Herald and The Age to a 'compact' size printed at regional locations.
Demolition revealing the waffle slab construction with drop panels around the columns.
Refitting of shops in the former Strand Arcade to coincide with the adjacent Emporium development in Lonsdale Street.
This is located on the ground floor of the former Myer House, now Somerset Apartments on Elizabeth and Lonsdale Streets, Melbourne. The building was built in 1975 and some of the construction features from the time are revealed from the renovation works.
The waffle slab soffit of the building is revealed here. This floor slab system was commonplace at this time and exists and a number of 1970's and 80's buildings in and around Melbourne.
We're participating in the Lyceum Competition this semester. The project is to design an International Community Center (whatever the hell that means) for Abuja, Nigeria.
This was one of a pair of initial Partis that I developed. I didn't proceed with this one for a couple of reasons...not so interesting in plan and it's maybe not the most rational of ideas.
The general idea is the ground is pulled back to reveal space. Light is admitted through manipulation of a thin waffle slab concrete structure. The large mast and cable system helps. I was sure the whole mast thing was ridiculous, but after looking at some of Calatrava's work, I'm not so sure.

Well, they sure don't make 'em like this any more. Langsam Library (formerly the UC Central Library), Glaser and Myers, 1972-1978.

A new series of works from a recent trip to Wanganui...
While the entry and the foyer area are rather underwhelming, the interior starts to come alive as you move through and up into the building. This is the view of the ceiling from the off-axis, but (relatively) grand staircase that leads up to the first level - where all of the major public spaces are. The forms are functionally elegant, and beautifully composed, and a breath of fresh air that is missing from the entry areas.
Best on black
PS - the actual foyer was so awful that I could not bring myself to capture it - it was however, consistent with the carpark feel of the previous shot...
This sub-series features the Wanganui War Memorial Hall - a fine example of pre-war international Modernism realised right here in litlle old 'Wangas' (albeit a couple of decades behind its international precedents).
Okay, there is no script here, we are in the kitchen learning how to use the Cuisinart Double Belgian waffle maker. We did figure it out, my wife does things that are weird, she read instructions.
