When you come to the LSAA 2024 Conference and Design Awards jointly held with Swinburne University, take the time to appreciate "Vibrant Melbourne".
Melbourne is a rapidly growing city - voted the most liveable city for many years.
In recent years there has been an enormous amount of construction in the areas of the Docklands, Spencer Streets and Southbank.
There are a number of lightweight structures in and around Melbourne.
There are the roof structures at the major sports stadia - Tennis Centre (Rod Laver and Margaret Court Arenas), the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG), the Rectangular AAMI Stadium, the Etihad Stadium and the Southern Cross train station.
The Victorian Arts Centre Spire, the Sidney Myer Music Bowl and the nearby Aquatic Centre are other examples.
Smaller tensioned fabric structures can be found throughout Melbourne.
