Music & Dance
.
The Music & Dance project was underpinned by design principles that explored art forms in music, art and architecture.

Kotai’s design for the façade creates ‘eye music,’ enjoining building form with a visual abstraction of dance and music, manifested in patterns of colour.

This project received a Commendation from the Royal Australian Institute of Architects for Public Architecture in 2010.
