[PRO] Re: Festival Plaza Tower 2 | 149m | 38 Levels | Office

A lot of people seem to forget how bleak and boring the original festival plaza was with its painted concrete cubes and the camouflaged car park exhaust stack and the leaky car park. It was even more boring in winter. I loved the Hajek Plaza, but it was compromised from the start (gardens and water...

Gathered markets are periodical and highly regulated. The one near me you even had to pay for entry. Its absolutely nothing like sole trader stalls seen in public plazas in Europe. I happen to live in the city so you can STFU. Why do you feel the need to be toxic? You clearly do not live in the cit...

that's so unAustralian common in Europe, but would never happen here in prime location :lol: I cannot tell if you're funny or clueless. Ever heard of the "gathered" markets or the Ebenezer night markets? They are packed full of activity. Works in Georgetown, Penang (Adelaide's sister city...

I once suggested on here that the whole riverside precinct needed to be knocked down with the exception of parliament (old & new) and the railway/casino building, and started from scratch. Now that what was an underused & unmaintained eyesore for public space is being redeveloped into a sec...

Re: #VIS The Adelaide Carparklands

Due to Adelaide being the most car-relient city in Australia, I came up with a plan to deter all those hideous multi-storey carpark proposals yet keep people's demands for personal transport satisfied. Why don't we just turn this: :? http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_6mr3i_Vmz3c/STE4MoCnpTI/AAAAAAAABiY/DR2...

Rewind 15 years and the site where this building and Building 1 stand was public space. It seems to ask why is public space being given up to a developer to build an office tower. Could the tower not be built on the site of the Riverside Centre? Or between the Intercontinental and North Terrace. Th...

Greens calling Adelaide "legoland" because of this development is going to backfire. Everyone loves lego, and a legoland sounds great.

I like the building but because I've been living in Jakarta much of this year, so personally , I prefer the design of their new towers a lot more than Adelaide's. Nothing wrong with this but I hate it when SA politicians and business people pump things up with FOMO. Adelaide's got a lot going for i...

[PRO] Re: 188 Grenfell Street | 14lvls | 46m | Mixed Use

I’d be surprised if this gets up. I reckon the cranker is one of the only buildings/institutions in Adelaide that would result in genuine unrest if it was about to be bulldozed. Agree wholeheartedly. I think most people would be happy if they incorporated the building into their design or if the de...
