McBride Charles Ryan Architecture + Interior Design : : Multi-purpose Hall, Templestowe Park Primary School

This project is a new multi-purpose hall for the Templestowe Park Primary School. Visitors approach the school alongside the new building where a new colonnaded canopy/giant portico signifies a formal entrance to the school and its grounds. The building form is based upon a parabola, which was selected to most efficiently contain performance and sporting functions. The east facade is painted to refer to the ubiquitous 'Olympic Stripe' exercise books. In using this pattern, a powerful visual memory common to many Australian childhoods is recalled and an institutional identity based upon elements of school life is established.
