Definately another 100m... i've added that as a comment on the story

Hopefully if enough people make the same suggestion it would be heard.

I hear what your saying...I'm off to do the same.

I hope they've re-designed it and we're not dealing with a 1992 proposal.

Whilst I'm not usually caught up on height if a proposal's otherwise good architecturally, I agree with Pikey and Beamer, if this is to be a landmark, it needs to at least be taller than Santos, but future-proofing it to 170-200m would be the best way to go.

Render?

and yes 97m is to small

[Ben]

Hope this is not too off topic and perhaps should be in the visions thread... sorry but

I'd love to see something like this:

Freedom tower NYC:

The site isn't working for me

I'm just going to save my comment here for the moment, and then when its working again I'll just paste it across.

What a bold proposal! FInally someone with the guts to deliver something of landmark signifance to Adelaide. I reckon we should go the whole way and beat Q1 for Australia's tallest tower (323m+). Adelaide could have something to be proud of with that fact, that defines us as a city and not a oversized country town.

Saw that.. I am a bit slow today (My excuse anyway) what is FTW?

[Pikey]

"For the win"

[Pants]

"For the win"

Ah, well that makes more sense in this context.

[Pistol]

Made my comment as well...

[Shuz]

Made my comment and I did a quick copy & paste job of the idea.

I'm curious as to how the carpark payback for the developer works... can someone elaborate for us and why a developer would go for an idea like this? Sounds like they need to do a bit of a hard sell... perhaps we could invite Michael Thiele to this thread to help explain it to us. Anyone have an email address for him?
