Anybody want to gripe about not getting the stadium with a roof in this thread?

Yes I am rather proud of what we are doing in Adelaide, This rapidly expanding research/medical/ university facility will form catalyst for a new future not only the west end but Adelaide and the State. I much prefer this to a sports/ casino lead recovery. We have got our priorities right and still managing a fantastic new Adelaide oval in keeping with our size. The pro RAH, anti tram big stadium people are starting to look a bit silly now.

Not an either or though, we're getting revitalisation of the west end through the medical precinct, plus revitalisation of the riverbank area through Adelaide Oval/Convention Centre/Casino (and hopefully a Festival Centre revamp as a pre-election sweetener?)

Best of both.

Great times for Adelaide. Certainly the most exciting period in my lifetime by a country mile.

Yes agree Adelaide is the winner!

I also agree, the repercussions are expanding even further to the western suburbs too, such as the development of the Bowden TOD. I think its good planning and foresight.

Imagine in a few years time driving to the city via Port Road going south east.

It's already won awards? Tell us more.

It's called the MIPIM awards . Its an international design award I think european. Its a prestigious award!!

Scaffolding is up on the opposite side so I would presume the next panels are going to go up there.

Odd i know, but the above photo made me think of a snake losing its skin, in reverse...

I was also thinking that it evokes reptilian thoughts.

Kind of reminds me of the new RMIT building in Melbourne.

From the car today going east along north terrace.

This picture is divine:



Well done Xaragmata. I always enjoy your contribution and photography.

SAHMRI clearly wins most attractive new building in SA and will battle well on a national level too!

I'd encourage everyone to walk/drive past the building too — especially when the sun is out. It looks nice in photographs, but the way the glass catches the light as you move past is really great.

Looks better every day
