These aren't the best construction detail pictures of the DFO at Southern Cross Station, but here they are anyway. The detail shows a fairly complicated joint of column to rafters. I noticed the services were all quite exposed in the ceiling area, and the structure was fairly visible, although i think this may have been more for cost efficiency than any kind of Miesian philosophy. I remember reading an article last year in the age where a bunch of prominent architects publicly criticised this building, which is usually against the architect's code of practice. They were objecting to this kind of cheap, industrial and ugly building being so prominent in the city centre, and i would have to agree that it is out of place.
