Cover story
"An amazing landmark and a shimmering new beacon on the Melbourne skyline" – that's how Victorian Major Projects supremo Tim Pallas described the spectacular, and as yet unnamed, Rectangular Stadium, due to open in May. Designed by Cox Architects and built by Grocon, the stadium will draw the eyes of the world to its unique bioframe domes, sparkling with thousands of LED lights. For more details, turn to the story on page 14.
