Launceston Architecture B

Launceston Eye Hospital

Launceston, Tasmania 7250, Australia

Created By: University of Tasmania

Information

Location: 262 Charles Street

Year: c1990

Architect: Robert Morris-Nunn

Style: Postmodernist

Notes: The horizontal banding of brick and stone and the curved façade that arcs into the entry evokes the architecture of James Stirling (refer to his Staatsgalerie in Stuttgart). Also note the downpipes at the sides. The best example of Postmodernist architecture in Launceston (the interior is interesting too, but its a working medical facility, so you'll have to wait until the next Launceston Open House to see inside).
