Re: Beggars in Adelaide
It was at the Stag. It has completely put me off eating alfresco again in the CBD. Not only was I as well as my companion harassed by 3 separate beggars, 1 of which actually abused my friend because he didn't give the required $5 note, to top off the night, a group of 10 clearly intoxicated Indigen...

Re: Beggars in Adelaide
Having recently had an alfresco dining experience ruined by beggars, I feel we need to discuss this growing problem affecting the attractiveness of our city Will, I am interested to know where you experienced this? The main culprits seem to be Rundle Street and Gouger Street I find. As somebody who...

[COM] Re: U/C: Rundle Mall Redevelopment | $30m
I'm not sure if you're serious? If you mean me, then yes of course I'm serious. I have to agree with pushbutton. The Adelaide Airport forecourt surface is visually appealing and something a bit different to what we have seen in other paving jobs in recent years (North Terrace, Rundle Street, Rundle...

[COM] Re: U/C: Adelaide Oval Redevelopment | 53,500 | $545m
In my opinion, they should've built a Northern Stand, and left enough room for the wonderful old scoreboard. As for the trees, they could shift them into the parklands surrounding the ground. Are you aware of what the aerial root structure of a moreton bay fig tree looks like? I don't think it woul...

Re: News & Discussion: CBD Retail
how does that in any way affect the quality of the goods available in the shops there, thus affecting your desire to go there to shop?Aikhme wrote:The Rundle Mall Development is hideous!

Re: University of South Australia - Developments and News
The original render did appear to be a bit classier: http://img21.imageshack.us/img21/5236/unisa2.jpg They're not renders of the same building. The newer render appears to be the Yungondi building, whereas the old render appears to be the Mayo and Way Lee buildings, further west along North Terrace...

[COM] Re: U/C: Adelaide Convention Centre | $350m
If they wanted to cover up the carpark under the Convention Centre, they could easily do this with hedges, shrubs and general foliage. I reckon it would look pretty awesome like that. I've thought for a while now that a green wall running the entire length of the carpark would look phenomenal. As w...

[COM] Re: UC: Torrens Footbridge | $40m
I honestly thought that the new airport plaza would set a new bar for the quality and style of paving we could expect to see in other public areas around Adelaide and the state. Alas, this has not been the case. I think the style of paving in Rundle Mall and the Footbridge is mediocre at best. It lo...

[COM] Re: U/C: Rundle Mall Redevelopment | $30m
Vee, I noticed a couple of very ugly building facades in your last post, and seem to remember there was a move a couple of years back to uncover some of the heritage facades hidden underneath them (and others in the Mall/Hindley Street). Does anybody know if this is still happening, and who was resp...

Re: Dubai - An example to look up to
ok so i'll actually add something of worth to this discussion. when i look at groundbreaking feats of architecture (yes SAHMRI is included in this list) the use of said buildings is also of importance. SAHMRI, both architecturally and purposely, has the ability to bring Adelaide to international acc...

here are some images of mature specimens of the trees selected for the new plaza... "ugly, unkept and grey" certainly do not spring to mind. not every street tree in Adelaide has to be a London plane tree. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/28/KingsParkWesternAustralia1_...

I am unaware if this has been posted or not, but local designer Cubik Cloth has opened a pop up store in the David Jones basement opposite Boost.
