The Melbourne Arts Precinct Transformation is the largest cultural infrastructure project in Australia’s history, linking Federation Square to Southbank around The Fox: NGV Contemporary and Laak Boorndap, an 18,000 sqm garden planted on an elevated deck. For MAPCO, Darcstudio created imagery of both NGV Contemporary and the new public realm, showing how the precinct’s venues will come together as one place to gather.
