Straight or not straight?
Building: Melbourne Exhibition Centre (known locally as Jeff's Shed), Melbourne
Architect: Denton Corker Marshall
One of my ex-employer's buildings in Melbourne. The sloping sticks has created an unique experience for visitors, while they walk through the colonnade, they could feel as if the building is collapsing. The stick itself is straight but the building is not straight. LOL
*By the way, MEC is undergoing a $200 million expansion at the moment, and i was very lucky to be able to participated in the project while i was working at DCM. Thanks Ian White! =D

Sydney Myer Music Bowl
Building: Sidney Myer Music Bowl, Melbourne
Architect: Barry Patten
Clarification on 3 August 2014: According to Barry Patten's daughter, it is believe that the Germans had contacted Barry to enquire about how the bowl was structured prior to the design of the Olympics stadium in Munich. Hence, it is not surprised to find the similarities between these two great buildings.

*Apologise for the late update as i have been busy photo shooting for a few graduation ceremonies and events recently which ended up i have tonnes of photos waiting for me to touch up. Despite all that, i am actually quite happy to know that some people whom i don't know have started to tag themselves or their friends on my facebook's photo albums, and i also noticed some had even used my photo as their display picture. It's really my pleasure~ =D
