Buildings Of The Future

This Place is truly magnificent. Half of me is actually displeased at the fact I didn't come here right away. But upon reflection, my experience in Melbourne was a truly great one to start off at, simply because of the people that I met. As places go, however, Sydney is a city of many fronts. Many rears too... but, fortunately, I haven't had the displeasure of experiencing them. The only thing I know is that they're there. As a natural course of action of course. The city is a bustling burst of multi-culturalism, concocted by the world, for the world's pleasure. I'm actually fearing that I might already feel at home here only a week after arriving. Sydney is divided into two CBD's (Central Business Districts), Sydney and North Sydney, physically linked by the Harbour Bridge. A colossal structure made of thick wrought iron which translates into pure metallic muscle. It's held up by massive blocks of concrete and when you stand underneath it, it gives you the impression it would withstand any natural, human or even alien disaster. I doubt even the Giant Stay Puft Marshmallow Man in Ghostbusters would have the ability to push this baby down! And then you've got the Opera House. It quite simply rekindles my faith in modern constructions. That such a piece of poetic architecture was constructed or even allowed to be constructed on what is probably the most important and predominant site of such a dynamic city as Sydney, is a credit to the Australians. I don't know if there was ever any protest at its creation, but I can see why if there was any. It's a highly risky building that doesn't really fit in with what we currently see as "modern" high rise buildings, with straight lines and cut off angles or "contemporarily" lavish habitats. Instead I actually think it points to the future and shows us what we should all be wanting our wonderful cities to become. Great Stuff!
