Containers & Fields: East Darling Harbour Urban Design Competition entries

A Slidenight Super Series > Every Tuesday in October \4\11\18\25
CONTAINERS & FIELDS | East Darling Harbour Urban Design Competition entries.

"Over 130 teams entered the East Darling Harbour competition with five teams selected to Stage 2. That leaves a lot of great material in the third drawer down. Slidenight is sifting through the brilliant, the extreme and possibly half baked, putting together a quick response 4x4 program to give these ideas, schemes and dreams for this special site a bit more air.

Each week 4 teams will present their proposals and exhibit their site models. Week 1 (October 4) starts with entries by teams: Rod Simpson/Craig Allchin, MacInteractive, Lacoste & Stevenson and Marcus Trimble (aka Gravestmor).

Other teams coming up include Tony Caro, Turner Associates, Johnson Pilton Walker, Tom Rivard, McGregor Partners and many more. The full program will be available on the website very soon so keep an eye on that.

The location is the rooftop of the Palisade Hotel overlooking the site. Short, sharp, insightful presentations are the order of the night. Talking begins at dark followed by beer and sangria-fuelled discussion. Note: We will be outdoors on a rooftop. It might get chilly. Dress warmly! If it rains we will have to relocate downstairs where it will be squishy but very intimate.
*Includes a ‘one-evening-only exhibition’ of each teams site models.

Starting Tuesday 4 October 2005 | On the roof of the Palisade Hotel, 35 Bettington, Millers Point
From 6pm | All tickets $10 at the door. Absolutely limited to 100 (No bookings - first come, best dressed, overly keen, first served.)
Cash bar available | www.palisadehotel.com
