Melbourne Architects Studio505 designed the iconic hexagonal based matrix facade that encloses and identifies the Suzhou Culture and Arts Centre. Studio505 directors Dylan Brady and Dirk Zimmermann began working together on Melbourne's iconic Federation Square project where they also worked with Monash University Professor John Warwicker. The two projects are significant cultural buildings in cities located in sister states Jiangsu in China and Victoria in Australia. Victorian Premier Dick Hamer first established the Victoria - Jiangsu sister state agreement in 1979 and the current Victorian Premier Ted Baillieu has visited the region in 2011 to launch another major project by Studio505 the Wujin Lotus Conference Centre. The recent establishment of the Monash University China campus in Suzhou is another strong and significant cultural link.
