Dr Chau Chak Wing Building is a business school building of the University of Technology Sydney , Australia. It is the first building in Australia designed by Canadian American architect Frank Gehry .
Description [ edit ]
The tower is named after Chau Chak Wing , a Chinese businessman who donated $20 million for the building's construction. The "Dr" in the building's name refers to honorary doctorates that have been conferred on Mr Chau. The 13-storey tower provides teaching, learning, research and office accommodation for, approximately, 1,256 students and 326[1]
The building's façade, which was made of 320,000 custom designed bricks, is described as the "squashed brown paper bag". Frank Gehry said, "Maybe it's a brown paper bag, but it's flexible on the inside, there's a lot of room for changes or movement."[2]
An entrance from The Goods Line – a pedestrian pathway – is located on the eastern border of the site.
Construction [ edit ]
The building is constructed from 320,000 custom-designed bricks
