AEB Auditorium
The AEB Auditorium was conceived as a flagship space for how the didactic pedagogy of the conventional auditorium could be transformed to one built around a performance-based mode.
Capacity
500 seats
Traditional Custodians of the land
The Turrbal and Jagera people
An Innovative Performance Space
The last thing we wanted was another “black box” that assumed a very dry singular didactic mode (read boring). The beautiful lake setting presented an opportunity for a living and active backdrop to each presentation through a fully glazed facade. The use of a high-performance glass facade, carefully oriented to avoid unwanted glare, utilises argon filled double glazed units, and very bright projectors to allow functional presentations in the open mode. It also acknowledged that many presentations were in effect and event.
