That is indeed the picture. It was to have airship mooring masts and all sorts of cool stuff

Yet another long-abandoned Melbourne project.

yes, i added this one to melb page a while back. back in 1990 i was at a convention in Darling Harbour and this was on display in a booth. it would of been WTB if it went ahead, but way out i think? maybe suit Dubai.lol

Yeah, I'm glad it didn't go ahead.... from the render it always appeared to be made from a mismatched mechano set...

650+ is right. Having already started construction, it will be 705m/2312ft @ 160-storeys and anticipated completion is sometime in 2008. BTW It's actual name is Burj Dubai and will be a mixed use tower ie retail, offices and apartments.

In regard to The South Pacific Centre, it was conceived by Bates Smart (of The Melburnian Apartments fame).

BTW The South Pacific Centre is included in a hardcover book titled Bates Smart: 150 Years of Australian Architecture, published in 2004 by Thames & Hudson. ISBN 0500500142, RRP: $AUD95.00...

Its way to big, but besides that I actually like it. Its like a cross between world tower and capita center (both in shitney).

Gee, you're all more interested in the gay-non issue rather than what I thought was a relatively informative post that I made. What the ****!?! :|

I didn't even get a reply simply out of courtesy.

...and Dan with his "Shitney" :|

Nice reply. Thanks.

Seriously though, don't think your posts go unread, at least not by me, I try to read all posts.

Don't take it 'personally' if people don't reply... sometimes there is just nothing to add.
