The Link is a beautiful new pedestrian walkway connecting Melbourne’s Chadstone Shopping Centre with the new Hotel Chadstone. Formed from a diagrid vaulted glulam-timber structure with a semi-translucent PTFE fabric stretched over, it is designed with the local climate in mind. It offers shade but is an open structure and provides a welcome change from the hermetic air-conditioned buildings that dominate cities. Its form is inherently urban and thereby establishes The Link as a street and also a public, civic space. The flexible design can also accommodate pop-up retail, F&B and events spaces.
