The award-winning Abedian School of Architecture, designed by globally-renowned architects Sir Peter Cook and Gavin Robotham from CRAB Studios in London, officially opened its doors in February 2014 and is now home to Bond University’s innovative architecture program.
Open-plan, ultra-modern and bold in design, the Abedian School of Architecture provides a unique education experience to Bond University students by acting as a teaching tool to inspire innovation and creativity in the next generation of architects and is the only studio-based architecture school in Australia. The building was honoured with a State Award in the Public Building category at the Australian Institute of Architects (AIA) Queensland Awards in 2014.
Gold Coast Open House visitors will enjoy a guided tour with Head of School, Professor Paul Loh. The tour will extend to cover the Bond Campus as the larger context, including the only building by Pritzker Prize Laureate, Arata Isozaki, in Australia.
During Gold Coast Open House, the building will be open from 10am–2pm, with two guided tours at 10am and 11am. Led by Head of School Professor Paul Loh, the 40-minute tours will include the Abedian Building and the Bond University campus.
Renowned musicians from the Gold Coast Chamber Orchestra will perform an intimate chamber music set in the building during Gold Coast Open House.
