__**//FEDERATION SQUARE// **__ //Federation Square. An amazingly stylish building. Well... supposedly. Federation Square was designed by Lab architecture studio together with Bates Smart architecture of Melbourne. It was estimated that 4,000 people and 250 companies were involved during the process of building this magnificent building. The Federation Square contains art galleries, a museum, public broadcaster, cinemas, an auditoria, exhibition spaces, restaurants, pubs and bars. The building cost $450,000,000 to build... Definitely not funny at all.

Construction began in 1998 and was officially opened on the 26th of October 2002. Part way through the project, the Victorian State Government and Melbourne's city council commenced looking at the concept of developing Federation Square over rail lines. The selection of architects for Federation Square was based on an open two stage international design.
