Vision: Light Square Tower - 100f / 500m

[Howie]

It's always been a two-way street, not only for the 'tiser but for other papers also. The only difference is that we always give proper sourcing... it's something that's been drilled into my head from uni days.

Bit of a strip tease for you...

Is it just me or does that bottom photo look old?

[Ben]

Yeh it is. There is no CC1. So maybe this has been floating around for a few years?

Still, interesting that this site was the source of a news article - is this a first for us? Usually it's the other way 'round!

We've arrived!

I know the media often scour messageboards for articles though.
I remember Jacki O from the radio used to do a gossip segment and source all of it from a certain music messageboard.
People started to realise and began fabricating absolute crap, and she broadcast the lot on air.

Ok then i hear word of a 1000 metre tower also being considered to be built on the lecournu site at north adelaide......

Yes, apparently the Vics didn't want the Solar Tower at Mildura, and Rann, being so much more of a greeny, threw his hat in the ring. It is now going to go at the LeCornu site. Makris is going to build apartments 3/4 of the way up the tower and they will be powered by the turbines within the tower just below the apartments. The rest of North Adelaide will be covered in glass sheeting with glass walls around the edge, to heat the air around the tower and in doing so, force it up the tower. As the heated air escapes from the top of the tower, it will pass through a 75m tall windsock made in a likeness of Ann Moran.

bingo,

You must have the same sources as me!!!

Just FYI, AdelaideNOW is running a poll on tall buildings.

[AtD]

It's clearly a very serious poll:

Is Adelaide's lack of tall buildings an embarrasment for the city?
Add your vote!
No, tall buildings are too phallic.
Yes, a city without tall buildings is like a pub with no beer.

Under copyright laws the media are required to acknowledge the architect and/or artist responsible for the design/artwork referenced or pictured in an article. This rarely happens. The Independent Weekly do it sometimes but the Advertiser rarely acknowledges architects or artists. They sometimes mention the builder or developer but rarely the designer.

Has it actually been confirmed that this is the website forum that is suggested in the article?

[Cruise]

100 floors and 500 metres though? why stop there?
lets build a copy of the Chicago Spire, 150 floors and 610 metres!!!

Looky here!!! i got a render!!!

[rhino]

That spire looks like it's drilled its way up from the centre of the earth!
