I went through the files but it appeared as if there was just the one. Thankyou though for finding them extra ones. However mine is still not there.

Hey guys, the yes4barangaroo twitter campaign now has 134 followers.

I've also written a couple of articles on Street Corner - the first one has attracted some comments you might be interested in reading and replying to.

Boy, Sky, a few of those anti-Barangaroo posters are a bit adrift! I mean, seriously adrift.
That guy/gal who just posted doesn't seem to understand we're dealing with a city CBD, not a village. The chosen name (-rooted-) and interpretation of comments and info are revealing: serious anger/aggression/tolerance problems there.

Sky_Is_The_Limit · February 9th, 2011, 03:14 AM

RSH&P have responded to submissions on C4 and the building has been redesigned somewhat. I must say that what was a solid submission (but nothing particularly exciting) has been turned into something sexy, curvaceous and pretty stunning!! I love it!!

I still like the use of colour - blue/yellow/green and that the lifts/piping has been cleaned up somewhat on the northern face.

Pretty good, huh?

My favourite view, the glass will be drool worthy

Nice!

Sky_Is_The_Limit · February 9th, 2011, 03:29 AM

Don't know about you guys but overall, I love it! It's simple and elegant, got nice curves and should have some hot glass. One thing that I preferred from the original was the podium - the new podium looks like a remix of Norman Foster's concept. Don't know that it goes particularly well with the tower, but perhaps its trying to play on the Sydney sandstone theme?

Cariad · February 9th, 2011, 04:05 AM

I agree, this works for me. The podium, after looking a second time, I liked it but I think I prefer the previous design too. I like the curve appeal and looks more comfortable within the skyline.

papervagina · February 9th, 2011, 04:39 AM

Wow, much better. It's amazing what a difference a few rounded corners make. Unfortunately, the podium looks like a suburban Westfield Shoppingtown.

LanceDriver · February 9th, 2011, 04:44 AM

^ Agreed, the podium is very suburban dull. But the tower itself looks good, although still not tall enough.

Fabian · February 9th, 2011, 04:52 AM

The refinements to the design are very good and yes I am glad they have gone for some curves as well. The facade looks brighter and more eye catching which will help it to standout from the other talls.

The podium is good too. It is contemporary but also has the elegance as well.

nameless dude · February 9th, 2011, 05:09 AM

a huge improvement the tower, but I'm not sure if I like the podium at all. I was hoping for more glass, more like Westfield Sydney's

Brizer · February 9th, 2011, 05:26 AM

Thanks, Sky. What a busy little tacker you are! But I'm very grateful.
I think I like the greater solidity, more varied character of the podium though there is quite a visual disconnect between it and the tower, which I guess was deliberate. It does have a more sandstone, more 'European' look to it.

BearCave · February 9th, 2011, 05:44 AM

Wow, much much better! I wasn't a fan of the original design. It was too busy especially the lift cores. It looks much more elegant now.

AllifialhL · February 9th, 2011, 05:47 AM

Really like. Great improvement!!!
Can someone clarify how the podium flows into the other low rise buildings around the development? Is it stand alone in its own little block or will the other low rise buildings surround/blend with it?
Also is this new design open for submissions? Sorry don't really know how that all works.

But yeah a change overall for the good!!! Will look really amazing on the skyline from some angles!

Edit: Did a bit of looking around and it looks like it is stand alone. Naha for some reason I was imagining this big block of low rise podium with the 3 buildings coming out

CULWULLA · February 9th, 2011, 05:52 AM

Looks wxxwllemt..still 18om?

Sky_Is_The_Limit · February 9th, 2011, 06:04 AM

So good you're creating new words aye Cul? haha

That's what happens when you are filling in time waiting for uni to start again and have no part time job to fill in your time!! No probs!

This building is standalone, I think I have plans saved somewhere on my comp for the approved version. If I can find them, I'll post them here and you can see how it will relate to the rest of the buildings.

This new design has come out of the response to submissions, it should be approved by the DoP within a month now (and feel the wrath of the NIMBYs who say all approvals should be held over until the new government is formed...pointless if you ask me because the new government will approve it anyway).
