I think it's mainly the spire thing I don't like.

I thought it was scaffolding and it was still being worked on, but then realised that's just how it's meant to look.

I think it's hilarious that he's even mentioning the word 'heritage' when it comes to that building.

I'm glad it's being demolished.

Wasted potential, giving what a great site it was.

The "spire" thing is ugly, and pointless really.
It's just a glass staircase.

Given the impact it's given the skyline from the south side of Adelaide, I was hoping for more from this one.
Yet again, it's another boring glass box.

i am very impressed, competes with some of buildings here in london.. im glad you brought the point of London up actually. in today's paper it had one of those "what do you think about this" interviews with random Adelaide residents. one man said that Adelaide has so many heritage buildin...

I thought of Aurora Place when I saw it, too.
Stunning building.

Both are ugly from outside. So plain. The Santos building is revolting - those red bars are awful, and the cheap glass looks ugly. Both buildings look great inside. (I work in IAG). The Santos building has a great open staircase inside that goes between all floors - large lit up aquarium on one of t...

I'm just glad this one is actually imaginative.

The Pirie street design is just another bland and uninspired glass box.

This is being discussed at Monday night's ACC meeting apparently, so hopefully we'll have a definitive answer on what's happening early next week.

Bring on the big screens!

The people (albeit... 355 of them) have spoken - bring it on.
Take note ACC.

Another glass box... zzzzz.

That render is BRILLIANT! I've been whinging that Adelaide needs an interesting, iconic building to just about anyone who'll listen, and it looks like this is it. Fantastic design - I hope it goes ahead. WOW. When I heard about the plans, I wasn't expecting anything like this. Thank god it's not ano...

I hope they go for the superscreens myself. In their original form, not a watered down version. I'd like to see something that is going to make a massive statement and an impact in the CBD. I don't think the box idea would do that as much. Screens are common in other cities. There's nothing memorab...

Decision has been delayed because the Vic Park debate took forever, apparently, so will be discussed at the next meeting.
