I thought it was about time that we had a guess the building thread, so here it is, feel free to post what you like.

So I'll kick it off.. guess this, I'm putting two up just in case one is too easy (or too hard - try to get both though).
Also, most of the shots I've lined up to start up with are just edits of larger shots - at some stage I might actually get out and about to take shots specifically for this. Interstate people are also welcome to participate :-)

Number ONE

Ausilencer,

1 - Bank of Qld Centre?
1 - Commonwealth Bank Queensland HQ

Correct!

NUMBER ONE = Bank of Queensland (aka MacArthur) [Good one nagelixin!]
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v206/Ausilencer/Img_1209.jpg

NUMBER TWO = Commonwealth Bank Queensland HQ (corner of Edward and Queen streets) [Blend, first one to actually get it, then Aussie Bhoy and nagelixin]

Hey Ausliencer.

Those are some good, original pics in themselves. Photos of nothing in particular. Interstate forumers and even a lot of brisbane forumers would have trouble nominating those as being scenes in brisbane.

Top stuff! Keep them coming.

Thanks Brisbane2! :-)

Blend, feel free to join in! But maybe to avoid confusion we could keep it to two 'active' pics each?

and your answers (not sure about a couple)
1. Department of Primary Industries bldg (not a scraper so think I'm wrong)
2. State Law Building!
3. Riverside Centre
4. CP 1/2?

my next two:

NUMBER THREE

NUMBER FOUR

NUMBER FOUR

1 - The Boeing Building behind Aurora. (It looked better before they painted it white)
2 - Those ugly twin stumpy towers ?? Not sure of the official name.

Ausilencer NUMBER THREE is the boeing building next to aurora, not sure about FOUR.

My guesses to Blend's

1. AMP
2. state law
3. riverside centre
4. CP1

Well both of you have the boeing building right - keep guessing for the other one though...

number four wouldn't be that hideous building on the other side of aurora would it?

Nope!

Chapman and Ausilencer both correct for 2 and half right for 4 (not that u could tell the diff) but it was cp2.

2. was State Law
4. Was Cp2

1 and 2 remain incorrect

is no 3 AMP then?

Chifley Tower (Lennons)?

That's right for my NUMBER FOUR nagelixin

Is it Westpac Building?

My next two...

NUMBER FIVE
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v206/Ausilencer/Img_0699_edit.jpg

NUMBER SIX
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v206/Ausilencer/Img_1174_edit.jpg

Blend, is your number 1 the ANZ building or Brisbane Club Tower? Number 3 has stumped me a bit, could it be the bottom of Emirates House?? (I really have no idea lol!)

My next two...

B6 - Medibank Private Building

Medibank Private is 440 Queen Street.

I use to work in CP1 and look over towards Medibank private (440 Queen St)
The building is branded as Medibank Private.

It would be one of the worst buildings in the state.

Oh and thanks Orfeo :-)

3 = Boeing tower
4 = country comfort hotel - Lennons.

A8 Lexicon,A9 the Precinct building or Education house.........Maybe

I agree with Favelle for A8, definitely Lexicon.

I dont know what its called but A9 is the building next to M on Mary with the stairs joining 111 George St Twin.

A8 I would probably have to agree.
a9 It should be knocked down immediately! Not sure of the name but is it the one on Creek Street? If you heading up from CP1 to Central Station it would be on the right?

Well that was too easy...

A8 = Lexicon (FAVELLE 1st, GMAC 2nd, nagelixin 3rd)

A9 = Education House (FAVELLE 1st, GMAC 2nd).

a23 - the new court building near Roma St?

a20 - stamford plaza
a21 - quay west?
a22 - emirates house. it's a building down there....
a23 - macarhturs... again.

A20 - Theiss Building Southbank?
A21 - Still thinking....

A23 - ING House or John Oxley Centre

A20 is definitely Casino Towers, very tricky indeed!!

A21 - River Park Central - Colour doesnt look right, but it is.
A22 - 212 Margaret
A23 - Magistrates Court

Good Work GMAC and Jellyman...

A20 Casino Towers
A21 River Park Central
A22 212 Margaret Street
