Week 336
SOUTHWHARF AND THE SOUTHBANK
This Sunday I
ventured out in the blazing summer sun to explore the new buildings on the
southern bank
of the Yarra River west of the existing Melbourne Exhibition Centre, returning
to Flinders Street Station
along the northern bank.
1. A dash of red - the new addition to the Exhibition Centre.
2. There are fascinating shapes and contrasts in material in these new builds.
3. Some of the old wharfside buildings between the exhibition centre and the river have been renovated, forming a lovely contrast.
4. Detail of a glass wall of the new Hilton Hotel.
5. A ghost
in the mirror? Interesting reflections of the new footbridge in the
glass wall of a building
across the river from the new development.
6. Detail of the supporting struts of the new bridge.
7. The new footbridge, with part of the new section of the exhibition centre in the background.
8. A pile-driver on the northbank.
9. Fish out of the water (Northbank Promenade).
10. Water under the bridge.
