<p>Louis Nowra would beg to differ, <a href="http://www.theaustralian.news.com.au/story/0,25197,25555804-5012694,00.html">trotting out the usual line</a> for tall buildings...</p>
<p><i>"It always astonished me how the architect Harry Seidler, admired by so many, never understood the Sydney landscape. He designed severe buildings such as Blues Point Tower and Horizon, which I can see from my front window. They have a phallic impudence that seems a perfect illustration of the short-man syndrome."</i></p>
<p><i>"Compare these structures with that of Renzo Piano. The world-renowned Italian architect
designed a building in Macquarie Street that subtly plays with gentle, slightly rounded lines because he understood that arches and curves, as in the Bridge and Opera House, are a harmonious reflection of Sydney’s landscape and one of the reasons that they work and give us immense aesthetic satisfaction."</i></p>
<p>Funny when I was Sydney the other month with me cam I walked past Renzo's curvey woody ceramicy seraphic louvred thing and clicked a few shots of Seidler's MLC tower, which wins at ground level.</p>

bagging harry is a lame sport hey.
the last one in bris is his own hairstyle up the top and a homage to penelope's curves around the other side. its tear arse. shame is i think he died before it got finished and it goes close to being the best. -
Harry's first race was on Queen St
The Hilton stakes back in the 80s
The only decent atrium in the country
Every now and then a foreign horse gets it so right -

is that anywhere near the 51 Club? -
About 100m up Queen St from the private dining room at the Tattersall's club
(where the 51 Club meets once a month)
