3 Built Architectures....

I have gone for an 1800's Sydney theme. Although i love modern architecture - mucho respecto goes to the very old architecture of the world. When i was in France i stayed in a building built in the 800's - it had been modernised - but still kept its 1000year old charm...

I dont know why for this assignment ive only chosen old Sydney architecture - i suppose i want to be able to actually visit the building when i'm modelling instead of just referring to pictures and plans. - and keeping up the Olympic patriotic spirit...

The three that i have chosen to display here are:
The 1873 City bank originally from Pitt street but rebuilt in Strathfield (after less than 20 years of Pitt street life...) now known as "Holyrood"
The 1868 Glebe building "Reussdale" by Ferdinand Reuss - a now derelict wreck that has a development application for restoration.
And finally "Kenilworth," one of the famed "witches" houses built in Annandale in 1870, once inhabited by Sir Henry Parkes.

All photos are taken by me and are in relative order...
