not sure how accurate any of that information is. If true the lack of any affordable housing is a problem.

also, how stupid would uni sa be to spend millions on the JS building and then block off the main facade with a new building after its just been completed!?!

all I am hearing from the whingers is "i wanted a tall building" *yaawwwnnn* and you don't find a 1 level inverted triangle with grass on the walls exciting? tell that to the engineers... go on, i dare you :P I guess the key is the "1 level" (even though it looks to be 2 or 3 and...

I am confident that they are eventually gonna ruin this area. Both the train station and parliament house have enough design merit that they shouldnt be completely blocked off on one side. I just hope that tower isnt actually gonna be shaped like the one in the renders. Ill take a well designed box ...

This video probably belongs in the pub, but I thought I would put it here re: the current discussion about a desire for a 'new tallest'. The whole video is quite good, but the specific bit about tall buildings starts at about 8 min.

not sure why i said that, never mind.

While we are on the subject of pipe dreams and Hindmarsh Stadium, if the entertainment centre was to relocated to memorial drive (which it surely would if a multi-purpose venue is proposed) then it would free up land that could be used to create a footballing (soccer) complex around/adjacent hindmar...

eehhh... for some reason, perhaps because of the podium, it reminds me of 80/90s UK social housing. And I can't un-see it now.

What an underwhelming proposal... Lacks any kind of design merit IMO.

In my experience the best thing to put in Convention Centres is... space for conventions! Forgive the sarcasm, though I would also imagine that people hiring out the place for their conventions would not want to have to compete with other things within the same building? :/ As a few people have alre...

Forget about clashing with other buildings, it clashes with itself. God knows what the designers were trying to achieve. I know they rattled off some s**t about the Flinders Rangers... but it resembles neither a literal nor abstract interpretation. On that topic, why would anyone think the Flinders ...

Gotta say I am getting a laugh at the fact that I am more partial to the 'stock' convention centre expansion in the second render than what has actually been built.

Anyone seen the car round the city that Hamilton has plastered with advertising? I shouldve taken a photo. Thought it was very appropriate that he was advertising on a car

he keeps going on about changing the building code... isnt that a state government directive anyway?

Really disappointing effort from the design team here. They have just replaced what was there with another version (albeit more linear) of what was already there. Bit of a waste if you ask me, and the end doesn't really justify the means. Whats more, it doesn't even look like it will be rain proof...?
