The Quakers Centre in Melbourne sits on the edge of the Melbourne CBD in a a triangular site which is a wedge of leftover space between the greater Melbourne grid and the city grid, which is rotated approximately 28°. Being the main centre for the Quakers in Victoria, the building is a centre and symbol for the pursuit of world peace, a core belief and pursuit of the Quakers. A number of shifting asymmetrical circles, a Quaker symbol, have been inserted within the triangular space to detonate the shift between the city and surrounding suburbs. The clients were eager to avoid normal church tropes, to create a type of anti-church, which encouraged a design response that avoided overt Christian symbolism and monumentality.
