The redevelopment of hamer hall was an alliance between arts centre melbourne, the architects arm, the builder baulderstone and the victorian government (through major projects victoria and arts victoria), with risk and reward shared between project participants. The hamer hall auditorium, though still massive, is now distinctly more intimate than its previous incarnation: the view from the rear circle, which resembled a gaze into some volcanic crater, is now more visually connected with its boundaries and with side and stalls spaces. The riverside podium was opened up, offering views and access to southbank. new foyers, bars, and circulation paths were inserted, while original features were carefully preserved, restored, or subtly reinterpreted. Irregular cutouts reveal windows to the river and the cbd beyond. featuring an interview with howard raggatt (arm) and peter murenu (aurecon).
