Interchange Pavilion

Details

The Interchange Pavilion at South Eveleigh, Sydney, is a landmark public art installation designed by Australian artist and architect Chris Fox. Commissioned by Mirvac and its consortium partners, the pavilion reimagines the site’s rich rail history through a striking sculptural form that invites visitors to gather, reflect, and connect. The work was constructed using an innovative palette of over 250 metres of stainless steel ground rails, 15 tonnes of robotically moulded GRC (glass reinforced concrete), 1,400 router-cut hardwood pieces, and a 14-tonne aluminium structure, creating a 350 m² sculptural space that also functions as a community amphitheatre.

The structure not only celebrates Sydney’s railway heritage but also functions as a space for performance, reflection, and social interaction. Its layered materiality references the industrial fabric of Eveleigh while embracing contemporary techniques of robotic moulding and CNC fabrication. Commissioned by Mirvac in collaboration with Carriageworks and other partners, the Interchange Pavilion reflects a broader public art strategy that integrates cultural expression with placemaking.

By merging artistry, engineering, and architecture, the pavilion embodies the spirit of interchange—where histories overlap, paths cross, and communities gather—transforming South Eveleigh into a precinct that honours its past while shaping a dynamic, inclusive future.
