The Palisades rooftop talks I mentioned a short while ago have been running for two weeks now and have been a great forum for presentaion and discussion etc. It is an exceptional venue, overlooking the competition site, Sydney Harbour and the city with slides projected onto the back of the parapet. I presented my scheme the first week and had a pleasant, if chilly, evening.

Last night saw the TRUC (Trans Regional Urban Collective…hey check out our name! We Are Not Common!) team headed up by Anthony Burke from Berkeley, Ben Hewett and a bunch of others in Sydney, the RFSH team, Tony Caro and Turner/Bolles Wilson team present their schemes. I’m not going to go into the details but for better or worse, they were all very, resolved.

If anything the slidenights have proven anything so far it is that the jury, in being seduced by the Superstars, has overlooked some exceptional home grown schemes. In particular I think Tony Caro was incredibly unfortunate not to make the list with his robust, urban proposal.

Thanks to Eoghan and Simeon for organising a great series and make sure you get down there for the last two weeks of the fun.
