The Melbourne Holocaust Museum, designed by Kerstin Thompson Architects, redefines memorial architecture with a powerful fusion of old and new. 

Retaining elements of the original 20th-century facade, the redesign integrates PGH Morada bricks in Ceniza, carefully arranged to create a dynamic interplay of light and shadow. The combination of solid clay and glass bricks symbolises remembrance, resilience, and education. 

A recipient of the 2024 Think Brick Awards, this project highlights the enduring power of architecture to preserve history while fostering a sense of hope and community.
