Photo A: CH2 is located in the heart ofMelbourne Swanston Street 
Photo B: One of the building’s water towers/showers. The theory behind this concept is that as the water falls it’s temperature decreases. This water is then used to cool the lower levels of the building.
Photo C: Detail of lift shaft from the exterior of building. Here we can see a number of connections between pre-cast concrete beams/steel columns and brackets/glass. Structural engineers would calculate the amount of forces being placed on these members to then choose appropriate sizes and strengths of materials.
