Description
Founded in 2007, the RMIT Design Archives is part of RMIT’s vibrant research hub in the city of Melbourne. It sits adjacent to the Design Hub building on the north-west corner of Victoria and Swanston Streets, Melbourne on the former Carlton United Brewery (CUB) site. The two buildings form ‘Building 100’ which was awarded the Victorian Architecture Medal and the William Wardell Award at the 2013 Victorian Architecture Awards. The RMIT Design Archives (RDA) actively collects material relating to Melbourne design from the 20th century onwards, and holds a unique place among Australia’s collecting institutions for its exclusive focus on design practice across all disciplines. It holds exemplary collections of some of Melbourne’s most important designers, and it is through their records that we can begin to reveal the archaeology of a creative city. The Archives and its staff support research into Melbourne’s designed environment, design professions and practices. Located within the Design Hub, the RDA publishes a Journal, contributes to academic and exhibition research, and hosts a range of programs, including practice-based research programs for students.
