The new ArtBank facility by Edition Office sought to amplify public engagement, bringing numerous artworks and programs closer to Melbourne’s art community. Re-calibrating the traditional experience of the archive, Edition Office designed a central void under the volume of the existing warehouse roof. While one half of the void consists of a gallery and event space with natural light from original saw-tooth windows, the other half is fitted with dark steel to for a cavernous environment for leased artwork.
