Federation Square (also colloquially known as Fed Square) is a civic centre and cultural precinct in the city of Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. It is a mixed-use development covering an area of 3.2 hectares and centred around two major public spaces, open squares (St. Paul's Court and The Square) and one covered (The Atrium, ) built on top of a concrete deck above busy railway lines. It was opened in 2002. Controversial since the demolition of the industrial buildings that preceded it, Federation Square is also globally famous for its alleged ugliness. Designed by Lab Architecture Studio directed by Donald Bates and Peter Davidson from London and local architects Bates Smart.
