The Southbank pyramid is born!
9th March, 2018
140 interior design students from RMIT University gathered at Testing Grounds last month to construct a gigantic pyramid made from a whopping 4317 concrete blocks!
As part of Melbourne Design Week (March 15-25), the students constructed the pyramid in an impressive three hours and 26 minutes on February 26. Testing Grounds general manager Joseph Norster said the temporary structure offered a space for artists and people to experiment.
“We invite people to draw it, write it, photograph it, sit on it, climb it, run around it, question it, sing to it, give speeches from it, declare your love on it, almost anything but you can’t ignore it," he said.
