With several of its staff having graduated from the University of Western Australia (UWA), Hassell was well-suited to design its new Faculty of Engineering and Mathematical Sciences building. The project is defined by a shading screen of metal “petals.” It also boasts sustainable technology like solar power and an advanced monitoring system.

The EZONE UWA Student Hub’s facade is carefully positioned so as to diffuse the sunlight and mitigate solar heat gain inside the building, reducing artificial cooling needs. Hassell also says the petals’ geometric repeating patterns are a nod to the engineering and mathematical calculations taking place inside.
