Museum Of Transflux
The past informs the present, and the present shapes how we re-imagine the future. The
Museum of Transflux retrofits Marcel Breuer’s Torin Building to explore Sydney’s architectural
evolution through the lens of migration. The project began by questioning the building’s
original function, materiality, and modernist context, particularly its link to Harry Seidler.
Its preserved structure, despite a history of functional changes, inspired a vision for repurposing
it into a museum that reflects Sydney’s complex, layered architectural narrative.
Sydney’s urban fabric is a mosaic shaped by generations of migrants. From Aboriginal
shelters to modern high-rises, each shift mirrors changing needs, values, and innovations. The
museum invites visitors to reflect, Collaborate and re-imagine the city’s evolving built identity.
The Museum of Transflux addresses this gap, offering a platform where visitors engage with the
unseen transformations shaping their present. How, then, can the museum serve as a dialogue
platform, bridging past, present, and future through spatial experience?
