"Facing the future while honouring the past, the First Building - housing Stage 1 of the Advanced Manufacturing Readiness Facility (AMRF) - is a collaborative space for government, industry and research to incubate innovative manufacturing projects. As the name implies, it's also the first building designed for the new city of Bradfield and the surrounding area of Aerotropolis, the new urban region set to transform Western Sydney."
"This unique workplace features a visitor centre and public viewing spaces designed to showcase the real-time building progress of Australia's newest sustainable, connected city. With the design informed by First Nations cultural research and design agency Djinjama, the First Building is a celebration of the meandering and ephemeral water of the Cumberland Plain. It reinstates the site's permeability, collecting and filtering the building and the site's runoff across, through a richly planted landscape of Cumberland Plain plant species and water features."
The First Building houses Stage 1 of the Advanced Manufacturing Readiness Facility and functions as a collaborative workspace for government, industry and research partners to incubate innovative manufacturing projects. It serves as the first building for the emerging city of Bradfield and the surrounding Aerotropolis, an urban region intended to transform Western Sydney. A visitor centre and public viewing spaces enable real-time display of the city's sustainable, connected development. Design guidance from First Nations cultural research and design agency Djinjama frames the building as a celebration of the Cumberland Plain's meandering, ephemeral water. The building reinstates site permeability and manages runoff through a richly planted landscape of Cumberland Plain species and water features.
