"Rodda Lane is part of the revitalisation of RMIT University’s public realm stitching together a warren of back-of-house laneways in order to provide a new focal point to the city campus through the addition of flexible outdoor spaces. The design centres around two courtyards that anchor social activity: here, new custom seating and pergola-like shade structures are set among planters along with increased lighting. These courtyards are joined by narrow laneways with impressive vertical volumes: new seating and lighting seek to accentuate existing spaces while providing new places to dwell. All of these multiple urban infrastructures allow for diverse spaces and uses." - Sibling Architecture
