Maybe the suits can enjoy their Adelaide CBD experience at KFC, because that's all that will be left soon

[REJ] Re: PRO: 186-190 North Tce (Gawler Chambers) ~50m 13 Lvls Of
I like this very much. I am a sucker for old facade with the modern built above. It's a nice narrative between the then and the now. The pod, I feel, is great. Without it - in the case of it being a bleak albeit glass wall - would be very cold and the building wouldn't interact with the original bui...

[COM] Re: Adelaide Convention Centre and Riverbank Redevelopment
Call me the grinch but I'm dubious of a riverbank development. The reason riverbank/waterfront developments work is because of 'aspect'.

[COM] Re: Adelaide Oval Redevelopment - General Discussion Thread
There certainly is some kind of memo going around at 7, 9 and 10 to just about ignore the football. There was barely any coverage on the ACL which is a huge tournament, and a shop window to Asia. Anyway. Obviously expansion at Hindmarsh is particularly difficult but it is a real football stadium, gr...

[COM] Re: PRO: Victoria Square Upgrade
This proposal has grown on me as the day has gone on. I particularly think it is vital that the 'direction' of the square encompasses a view towards the city backdrop, so far I think that is a nice aspect of the proposal. Slightly concerned on how they would allow for an event of "8,000 people&...
