      I've not been inside but I see the Gherkin most weeks and I do love it. London is an eclectic place so nothing is out of place.

        yes Bernard - I like his work. All his work has those clean lines.

        I spent a lot of time with Ian McKay. 😄

        As you are in Brisbane spend a balmy day and drive down to the new Ivory Hotel in Tweed Heads. Excellent food and the design is very nice IMHO.

        cheers

        Where was Phillip? 😉

        I try to avoid the 'delights' of our South Coast but when next I'm there I will check it out. 😄

        Our fantasies keep us safe and sane in an incomprehensible, indifferent universe: inevitably we comprehend them as reality itself.

            Phillip Cox.

            Ian worked with him in the '60s producing some award winning buildings:

                Ah yes Bernard - was that the one that was nominated for a Sulman Award on friday, and the roof blew off on Saturday. It would have been Ian's third Sulman but it was not be.

                I never met Philip, I knew Ian in the late 70's early 80s after that period. I lived on his block and helped build his house in Byron and later in Sydney.

                cheers

                  John - According to the Royal Australian Institute of Architecture's website it was awarded to them both in '63. You'll notice in some years no award was given - so his colleagues must have thought it alright with or without the roof. 😉

                  . . . or is this Presbyterian Agricultural College a completely different one? I'm unfamiliar with NSW rural towns - Paterson? Leppington?

                    Yes - I think you are probably right, I think I'm referring to a Boys school he designed later, not the ag colleges. I gather they rang him on Friday to tell him he'd won, the roof blew off on the weekend and he rang them on the Monday and said he could not accept the award. 😉

                    cheers

                      Is that jumping before you're pushed or am I being too harsh? 😒
