looks like crap

Reckon it's meant to look "futuristic" but doesn't suit the rest of Melbourne

And it probably wont get built, going to cost $1.5 bil they reckon
And to think the design winners pocket $500k of tax payers money
Disgraceful

i know someone who had some involvement with the Spencer st rebuild. The architect boasted how no two sections of the roof have the same angles. This made construction a nightmare and there was immense wastage.
I often wonder if the term educated stuffwit was coined for architects and engineers.

I agree. Ive tried to give fedsquare a chance but have reached the conclusion they should just bulldoze it all and start again

We have some absolutely beautiful old buidlings in this great city (Flinders street Station is perfect example) and all these dopey architects seem hell bent on turning them into "eyesores" by destroying thier character with modernisation :banghead
-
modern architecture sucks arse
the most aesthetically pleasing building are generally over a hundred years old
-
I have to say I actually hate the look of old buildings
-
you like soulless monstrosities better?
-
fedsquare should have been one building only in the mould of the guggenheim museum in Balbao not the same but should have had a similar type theme. One of the great buildings and modern architectural successes of all time IMHO.

Looks like a drunks packet of smokes after his face hits the pavement.
-

No but I do like modern stuff
-
curious to see an example.

not as bad as some, but lacks character, to me anyway.
-
Fair enough, I just prefer modern stuff to old crappy looking buildings
-
I don't mind Fed Square, has some interesting public spaces. In the very least it generates discussion.
-

No but I do like modern stuff
As do I but old buildings and old cobble stone laneways are fantastic in our city.
That is a disgrace that building as is fed square.
As WP said what's worse than that building is the fact some pimple faced student will pocket 500k.
-
Should play with it too much, just spruce up what's there!
As for fed square, the gas and fuel building had more going for it ;D
-
This design wont get built but the designers pocketed the dollars?...what was the point of the exercise then??????
