Abstract
This project has given a new style to the overcrowded centre of Sydney city. Its outstanding feature is the 50 storey, 170.70 m high tower, of circular cross section, which is a distinctive feature in the urban skyline. Most of the building is devoted to office space, but the lower floors include a commercial centre, and a theatre, which can be converted into a convention hall. At the top there is a terrace, offering a fine view of the town, and just below a rotating restaurant, with capacity for 330 guests, which turns round once every ninety minutes and enables diners to enjoy a total view of Sydney in the course of a meal. This building is also significant because of its structural design, the good space distribution, and the novelty and quality of its internal fittings.
Highlights
El problema fundamental perseguido por los proyectistas fue resolver acertadamente un problema de reestructuración urbana
El proyecto del nuevo conjunto pretendió, desde el primer momento, remediar tales situaciones anómalas y aportar un nuevo sentido de vida al congestionado centro de la ciudad, dentro de las restricciones impuestas por las Ordenanzas de la Edificación vigentes en Sidney
