And its current state...

  3. Aye, Emma,

    It looks just like Minneapolis, right down to our mode of dress. Uncanny!

  6. Hi Adelaide! Lovely to see you here. I perfect reality in Photoshop - I got quite a thrill taking out those very new, expensive, ugly lights.

  15. Ahha .... so the degree is finished, I presume. In what?

    I really like what you have done with George St. I would love to see Clover push on this with the new government. Have all the cross streets, but only trams down the centre. Like Martin Place essentially. Not keen on delivery vans, or even couriers but hard to keep those blighters out. No sunken areas for major perfromances - just nooks and crannies. And maybe a licence a block for busker - but only musical buskers - no sword swallowers or bike riders on ropes.

    Picky aren't I ...

  16. hey Julie

    I completed a degree in urban design - it focussed on the design of public space - the streets, the nooks and crannies.

    Id love to see trams back in Sydney - and lots of musical buskers too.

    Ok, youre probably borderline picky but I came out after this year figuring we're all experts in urban design. We know what we like.
