Denton Corker Marshall
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Denton Corker Marshall (or DCM) are a major award winning Australian architecture practice established in Melbourne in 1972. Its founding principals are John Denton, Bill Corker, and Barrie Marshall. The firm now also has offices in London, Warsaw, Sydney, Singapore, Jakarta, Hong Kong, and Ho Chi Minh City.
DCM have been responsible for some of Australia's more notable architecture, much of it constructed in Melbourne during the premiership of Jeff Kennett in the 1990s, including the Melbourne Museum, which features a 'blade', a section of roof rising to 35 metres, enclosing a small rainforest. The Melbourne Exhibition and Convention Centre has a roof resembling a giant aircraft wing as well as the Melbourne Gateway and Bolte Bridge, both part of the CityLink project.
Other projects undertaken by DCM include a new visitors' centre at Stonehenge, Australian embassies in Tokyo and Beijing, Sydney's Governor Phillip Tower and the Museum of Sydney, and extensions to the Australian War Memorial.
In 2005, John Denton was appointed as State Architect for Victoria. The role aims to promote good design in the built environment in Victoria. He will also continue his private practice.
