- Title
The Problem of Scale.
- Authors
Godsell, Sean
- Abstract
Sean Godsell has built an international reputation on designing finely crafted houses in southeast Australia for which he draws all the details by hand. Here he explains how landing the commission for the Design Hub, a new postgraduate design research centre for RMIT in Melbourne, required a shift in scale and also a change in working conditions as he encountered new production processes and levels of regulation. Maintaining the character of the building as something 'made' rather than produced was a sustained battle.
