A new Swanston Street lift and service core were built and account for the medieval passage accessing the upper floors. The deep floor plate was Melbourne maximised, resulting in a rabbit warren of rooms to the upper floors. Balustrade details, handrails and dadoes are built to last and the 3000 entire interior has the chaotic vibrancy of a pre-Renaisance city. From various points along Swanston Street , the expressionistic roofscape reveals more and more formal fantasy from the crystalline cornice and Darth Vader exhaust hoods over the fire escape stairs, to the corrugated Matterhorn of the lift overrun. The coloured stone facade and its knitting needle, steel pipe strut supports continue the bastion theme, whilst on the back elevation, a polychrome and polygonal brick fire stair turret acknowledges Percy Everett’s 1930s workshops and provides the visual focus for one of RMIT’s few outdoor spaces.’ (extracts from Philip Goad, Melbourne Architecture, p223) RAIA Nº Corrigan’s aim was to delight and break down the dominant and The medieval access corridor seamless city-wall 'mood' RMIT presented on Swanston Street. -

THIRD QUARTER Report Reporting Period 01/07/2013–30/09/2013
THIRD QUARTER REPORT REPORTING PERIOD 01/07/2013–30/09/2013 ░ su.rmit.edu.au ░ facebook.com/RUSUpage ░ twitter.com/RMITSU ░ youtube.com/RUSUonline ░ President’s Report July to September has been a booming quarter for RUSU, with the success of the first half of the year continuing. Stu- dent volunteers completed over 1,000 hours of accredited service this quarter, with over 70 new volunteers joining our James Michelmore team. This quarter also saw RUSU add two new training opportunities and a camp to the volunteer program. Funding has been secured for the continuation and expansion of the volunteer program in 2014, with a focus on improved professional development opportunities. Three RMIT students have also joined the RUSU team at Bundoora to complete placements as part of their studies. Almost 20,000 free lunches were handed out to students this quarter. The addition of free fresh fruit to many of our weekly events has been welcomed by students across the University. Over 8,000 pieces of fruit and hundreds of healthy cookbooks have been given away to students as part of our Healthy Eating Program. A number of new student clubs joined RUSU’s ranks this quarter as almost $25,000 in grants were distributed to support student activities on and off campus. Student rights cases continue to be an area of growth; up over 50% on last quarter, with the number of new cases opened already surpassing last year’s total. The depart- ment continues to focus on concerns about the University’s proposed ‘Fitness For Study’ policies as part of the proposed changes to the Student Conduct Regulation. -
Mr Peter Russell Corrigan AM
Peter Russell Corrigan AM Citation for Doctor of Architecture honoris causa Peter Russell Corrigan AM is an internationally renowned architect, theatre designer and academic. Throughout his career, he has exerted considerable influence on architectural practice and education in Australia and has been widely recognised for his work, being described as “the engine of postmodern architectural change in Australian architecture” in a 2005 issue of Fabrications, the Journal of the Society of Architectural Historians, Australia and New Zealand (SAHANZ). Corrigan’s architectural career began at the University of Melbourne where he completed a Bachelor of Architecture in 1966. During his studies he was heavily involved in student theatre and this engendered a longstanding interest in theatre set design. In 1963, he spent time touring South-east Asia and Japan to expand his knowledge of theatre and architecture. From Melbourne, Corrigan went on to study in the United States, graduating with a Master of Environmental Design from Yale University in 1969. In the US, Corrigan worked for influential design architects including Paul Rudolph, Ulrich Franzen, Cesar Pelli and Kevin Roche, and his time at Yale enabled him to have greater contact with the vibrant United States theatre scene, leading to engagement with Antonin Artaud’s theatre of the absurd, Bertolt Brecht’s street-theatre ideas, and Jerzy Grotowski’s theatre of the poor. He also had increasing contact with several leading theatre and visual arts figures in Australia, notably Patrick McCaughey, Jack Hibberd and Graeme Blundell, and it was through these relationships that he was enticed back to Australia in 1974, designing a controversial set for Don Giovanni at the Sydney Opera House. -
