From my ongoing project capturing Melbourne Modernism, the captivating South Lawn Car Park at the University of Melbourne with its mushroom like concrete curves is an inspiring space to witness. Constructed in 1971 it’s a fine example of how a car park can be more than just a functional space. Melbourne has several great examples of car parks from the Modernist era. The car park was entered into the State Heritage Register in 1994
