Pointing Upwards

Description

The cone-shaped, metal-framed glass ceiling of an inner-city Melbourne shopping centre.

The brick chimney is part of an old gunpowder factory that was on the site, and was not permitted to be demolished. The developers of the shopping centre had to construct the shopping centre around the factory, which has now been converted into shops, as well. Consequently, the chimney had to be accommodated within the shopping centre....hence the design of the ceiling.
