I’ve tried to like THE THING, but I just can’t!.

Like so many others have said, it needs glass fronting the river.

The building THEN would show some appeal and potential as one we might learn to kind-of-love.
On a side note too…I know that from a logistics point of view it works for them, but I wish Channel Seven would get Telethon OUT of the Convention Centre and return it to the intimacy of the TV Studio. It leads to already shouty presenters shouting at their huge live audience and produces a hollow cavernous sound for the musical acts..It’s the ugliness of the outside of the building, turned inward.

the thing is just awful, the only good thing about it is the crazy on/ off ramps that came out of it… fly around those at speed… good times…

Maybe if the lazy builders supported the roof properly so it was’nt sagging it might look O.k. No, seriously this is one dire effort.

[...] March 10, 2008 by The Lazy Aussie Frank reminded me that that The Biggest Bingo Centre is set to close in a few weeks after 25 years. Do I remember correctly that it used to say Word’s Biggest Bingo? Probably saddest is the smokers’ area in the second shot. The third pic makes me think that it is the same architect that designed the Convention Centre. [...]
