I was intrigued by the repeating geometrical patters when looking up and enhanced the effect with the help of Photoshop.

As one element of Melbourne’s Federation Square, the Ian Potter Centre comprehensively presents the National Gallery of Victoria’s collection of Australian Art. A total of 7,250 m2 of gallery space showcases Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander art, historic and modern Australian collections and contemporary art. There are also galleries for special exhibitions.

The overlapping multi-level figure of eight composition of the galleries allows both a direct route through the building, or by the optional diverse pathways. The focus, however, always returns to the central area of the public foyers.
