The awesome inner city/CBD:
So this is where all the action is. The people, the food, the drinking holes, the shops... but not the best places to live. Yet, I have found some of the most interesting buildings here. These seem to be the oldest in the city. It seems like everyone was out to innovate then. They had no idea what a high rise should look like, their minds were untainted. And so they experimented away. But then came the time when the word "high rise" would conjure up an image that is now permanently pasted in our minds. Sleek and slender, the new age high rise is all about the overall shape (like a disc or a tilt) and the finish. These, on the other hand, were about the detail. The smallest element that multiplied to make the whole. Not many would design a residential high rise this way anymore.
Which is really sad.

| How cool is this one? Your general idea of a pretty balcony on a nice bungalow is now plastered all through this building. Who would think like this? |
