Architectural Competition for a new pool
Sydney, 2002 |
| UAC - Ultimo Aquatic Centre |
| We thought we had nailed this one, but that do-gooder Harry
Seidler, former high priest of 'the wrap' or the 'brushover' (monsieur
Murcutt is another deserving memeber of that club) ended up getting the
gong. Jeesh it musta been neck and neck there for a while. You can almost
imagine the conversation, the chirlish intellectual banter, the to-ing
and fro-ing and heated debate between learned and respected judges on
the various merits of each scheme ('isn't their roof sweet', 'oh sure,
but just look at harry's spotty bow-tie, and a nice brushover too!) |
| No prizes, no joy, (judges clearly had no idea, nor i might
add, had they ever heard of 'irony'). Our good friends at Vim Design shared
the adventure. We got to learn how Adam likes his tea though (white with
one). Who says architectural competitions in this city are a rort and
a waste of time. |
