NEVER BUILT SYDNEY: East Circular Quay Redevelopment Scheme (1990)

Below is an article from The Sydney Morning Herald dated from 1990 featuring a design by a group of Architecture students from the University of New South Wales for the redevelopment of East Circular Quay.

This, along with other designs were displayed at the University of New South Wales and were not part of the formal design process that the developers (Colonial Mutual Life) had for the site.

The redevelopment of the site of the 1990's caused controversy, particularly the height of buildings, impact on the Botanic Gardens and the blocking of the view towards the Sydney Opera House from the Cahill Expressway.

What do you think of this scheme?
