[CAN] Re: 123m 31 Level Office Tower 20 - 22 Currie St

If there is one building in this city that needs to be jazzed up is the 'GHD' building on Grenfell St. Cnr Grenfell and Gawler on NE side .. man is that a most disgusting building. I think Stamford is ok .. gives good contrast to the skyline from Nth Adelaide. There is old, but then there is old and...

[CAN] Re: 123m 31 Level Office Tower 20 - 22 Currie St

I personally hope it could be a tall mother f.. of a building, say 150m and slender .. with a good mix of glass and concrete .. sick of those CC1 and CC2 glassy things ... AND, I know this will shock many, but they ditch the stoopid bendy arch looking (canterlever?) front on Currie St .. how ridicul...

[COM] Re: #Proposed - Rundle Convergence

i too prefer the cube design .. that way if there is a sporting event such as world cup or aussies in rugby we could converge down rundle mall to watch it .. they could also close off rundle street from pultney to Frome and have people converge there. I'm sure the retailers there would love it as du...

I think the red building looks cool .. adds character to the city skyline and looks good .. will be an ugly day when the whole skyline is filled with glass boxes.

The SA Water building next to it looks good as well .. tapered look is nice. eg. CC1 is damn boring and bland!

Re: #Article: Young architect's vision

Suggesting that AAMI could move to Cheltenham is ridiculous .. just adds extra useless debate and distracts from where it should be .. in the city!!! Move the damn hospital there .. combine the RAH with the QEH with the Marj with the whatever at Cheltenham .. if we were bidding for the Olympics then...

As long as no green coloured or spew coloured glass (like CC1 and 2) is put on the place I will be happy ..

[CAN] Re: 123m 31 Level Office Tower 20 - 22 Currie St

After spending the early part of last week in melbourne CBD I was a little depressed when coming back to Adelaide and having to go back to work in our CBD .. very uninspiring .. I noticed there is no stopping progress in Melbourne and even managed to catch a glimpse of their "London Eye" g...

[COM] Re: #Under Construction: Conservatory on Hindmarsh - 68m 18lvl

Can I ask a big favour .. can all the happy snappers of the other CBD developments take their trusty digitals to this site .. am keen to see how this is going, as for me, this is by far the major construction project currently in Adelaide, both in terms of height and location .. it will have a massi...

Re: Air Asia eyeing Adelaide, Melbourne

Good point Urban .. Adelaide great airport but I'm sure the shops and eateries do not do as good a trade as in say Melb or Sydney as these aiports are used greatly for transitioning passengers to other destination .. once you land at Adelaide airport you go straight home or to your hotel .. would be...

Re: Sporting facility or Hospital???

Government says hospital at railyards would bring with it vibrancy, cafe's etc and create nightlife for the CBD .. you got to be joking .. hospitals give me the creeps .. a sporting precint would s...
