From Es Devlin and aerospace innovation to First Nations-led stories of Water Country, Powerhouse Parramatta has unveiled the five exhibitions that will launch the new museum this November.
Genton’s Pakenham Station transforms a utilitarian transport interchange into an open civic landmark, reconnecting the town through landscape, public space and infrastructure designed around Country.
Powerhouse Parramatta has commissioned more than 50 leading designers from across Australia to shape the spaces and experiences of the new museum, including public, exhibition, restaurant and retail spaces.
Scheduled to open later this year on the banks of the Parramatta River, the 30,000-square-metre Powerhouse museum — designed by Moreau Kusunoki in collaboration with Genton — represents a major shift in the geography of Sydney’s cultural infrastructure.
We met the architectural design team behind Powerhouse Parramatta as they gave a talk on the milestone project at Western Sydney University.
Moreau Kusunoki and Genton envisage Powerhouse Parramatta as a hyper-platform with exposed structural elements channelling Parramatta’s industrialist history.
