Of the two public spaces one is a covered one (the Atrium) and the other is open. The latter comprises two spaces that lead into one another (St. Paul's Court and The Square). Most of the district is constructed over busy railway lines on top of a concrete deck.
The Federation Square is spread over almost a whole urban block surrounded by Flinders, Russell Streets and Swanston, and the Yarra River. Designed by Paul Carter, the glazed walls of the Atrium, the bluestone used in the buildings and the pavement of ochre-colored stone blocks are sure to catch any traveler's attention.- The BMW Edge Amphitheatre
