The Design Centre Galleries adjoining Price Hall were designed by a team of architects led by Hobart's David Travalia with consultative assistance from noted Sydney architect Rick Leplastrier from 1998 to 2001. Where possible, local materials were used in a simple yet innovative construction which is well integrated both with the existing heritage building and with its environs in City Park. The shape of the building was designed to have as little impact as possible on the existing pathways and structure of City Park while providing a significant gallery and museum space for the community. In 2004, the building was listed as one of the top 1000 contemporary buildings in the world (Phaidon Atlas of Contemporary Architecture, London, Phaidon Press, 2004). #contemporary_architecture #design_centre #launceston
