[COM] Re: Flinders Rail Link

From yesterday, going under the Flinders rail bridge. Wasn't as impressive looking as I thought it might be from below, but still extremely happy they have decided to extend the line.

Re: Skylines Outside of Australia

My hometown Calgary, similar population to Adelaide, but with a whole lot more money and success earlier on. Hence the abundance of ugly skyscrapers and 1960s era towers. Note the tallest tower here is the shiny tower to the left of the lattice tower on the right sand side of the picture. Its called...

I may be alone in this, but I genuinely think this looks much better with the logos on, typically I am generally against logos on buildings, but this is quite nice.

[COM] Re: SkyCity Adelaide Casino Expansion | 55m | 12 Levels | Hotel

I feel that one reason the Southbank Promenade in Melbourne is so successful is that there are destinations at either end (Federation Square at one, and South Wharf and beyond at the other). I'll be honest, it's a glorified path that leads to Crown Casino. But I like it. It has atmosphere, vibe and...

Work is currently being done on site today, looks like they are doing some removal works first before demolition, I suspect this isn't far off now then?

I know this is perhaps the millionth photo of this building posted, but thought it would be good to give a different perspective and scale. Taken from North terrace just before the university tram stop.

Re: News & Discussion: Low/Mid-Rise CBD Development

I would be much happier with this building being on the diagonal corner, the RSB building is a treasure, and this new proposal is a nice density filler. I don't think it has enough architectural merit to justify the destruction of such a lovely building.

In case anyone is curious I passed by the site yesterday afternoon and got some photos of the site works. Anyone know the average timeline between site works and construction? I'm sure it's quite variable.
