    identified melbourne as a view of nothing in a tertiary economy long before the profession.

    <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
