During the restoration of City Hall, excavation below the main auditorium floor uncovered a broad range of artefacts including porphyry and flagstone building slabs, a variety of stone, timber and ceramic drains and pipes, as well as some significant timber platforms and footings. PHAB Architects was engaged, as part of a consultant team (including surveyors and heritage specialists) to undertake the documentation of this archaeological dig.
As an ongoing project, we were subsequently awarded Federal funding, to produce a scale physical model of the find, as well as a 3D-digital computer model of the interior of Brisbane City Hall’s auditorium and the archaeological find uncovered within it:
