Fantastic Construction: The Carousel

This is the Carousel. It is a small building lacated along the Geelong Waterfront. It surely showcases the prowess of Geelong architecture and construction.














The Carousel has a very unique and contemporary form. McGlashan Everist designed the building and has since won awards for it, including the 2002 Victorian Architectural Award.
















The sexy curves of the buildings roof structure are a benchmark. Something about the shapes just shouts out Sydney Opera House. Maybe all buildings this immaculate should reside near water....
















A detail of the one of the many state of the art construction techniques they used.
