I don't know about Kawaka, but his buildings in Vienna were notoriously cheap to build, so I'd be inclined to think that a stadium of his would have too - gilded bits or no.
The undulating field might have been a problem though.

Although I think Hudewasser would do a better job than Escher.
;-) -
Escher could design Tour de France stages that only go uphill and never come down.

Hi all. Didn't blog today, owing to me buying an iPad and it being my birthday.
Happy Birthday (yesterday) - and you have the same birthday as my brother.
What do you think of the iPad?
-
Escher could design Tour de France stages that only go uphill and never come down.
Or and here's a killer idea. We could replace Steven Joyce with M.C.Escher and have all of our roads go downhill. That would save a fortune in fuel costs. (thinks, Will this crop up in one of John Key's speeches soon?)
-
They're way ahead of you: the whole of government policy is geared towards spiralling downwards.

W C fields...
Ah ha, but... There's KawaKawa
sadly this first flush of creative community
facilities was to be a flush in the pan and is
now just a part of life's rich tap history...Imagine if Hundertwasser had designed a stadium. How cool would that be?
it'd probably look like this
if it's good enough for John Lydon
(a classic secessionist musician if ever...)
it'd be good enough for us...Speaking of towering visions...
I've just watched the trailer for Predicament
and they have got the "tower" in that way wrong
- and if this is the NZ trailer why is the Ronald Hugh Morrieson connection relegated to the fine print credits..
Jemaine Clement & Tim Finn seem to be the selling point for pete's sake!!
how come no "from the author of Came a Hot Friday and Scarecrow", no intimation that this is from the father of small town NZ Gothic unease that Sam Neill championed - NZ funding but nothing to indicate its antipodean origins - what a missed opportunity... -
Did he sleep with the iPad under his pillow?
Is it like wedding cake? If you sleep with an iPad under your pillow, do you dream of the Apple-designed robot you're going to marry one day?

gold
small town NZ Gothic unease that Sam Neill championed
I thought he hated it?

You dream what the Apple board of directors has mandated that you should dream. It's right there in the terms and conditions.

publicised then...

Did he sleep with the iPad under his pillow? That's what I want to know.
No, I actually left it behind to go out to the Italian restaurant we're going to when you get to Auckland.
That being the loudest restaurant in the universe, where it's always at least three people's birthday.
-
My kind of Italian restaurant!
(Although the one in Wellington where I'd take you is not like that. But the food is fabulous.)

So it's 3 News that sees a story in Snedden's comments to Media7 about Party Central:
-
Or and here's a killer idea. We could replace Steven Joyce with M.C.Escher and have all of our roads go downhill. That would save a fortune in fuel costs. (thinks, Will this crop up in one of John Key's speeches soon?)
This whole line of thinking reminds me of a colleague who demanded to know whether this Kafka guy was some sort of famously bad architect, because he seemed to have designed so many confusing buildings. (I had just described the Charles de Gaulle airport as "Kafkaesque".)
Come to think of it, sometimes it's not a bad adjective for aspects of the current government, either.
-
Has anyone asked whether there was a requirement that we have a terribly bad cover of a terribly bad song by a terribly bad band, then?
Because if not, we should also try to quietly drop that.

Gina's?
Last time I was there there was one birthday and two hen's nights on top of our Christmas work dinner..

Re: chucks/chocks away....
Given that the topic includes a barefoot skateboarder, it is most definately chucks away.
(google chuck taylors if you disagree)
-
I'm mildly embarrassed to admit that I hadn't heard of Hundertwasser until I was wandering around Vienna. I shall make up for this shame by making a pilgrimage to the toilets
-
expect a queue
-
We pilgrims find that queues enhance the experience
-
most prefer drugs
-
It certainly was a hard lesson for me to learn that not everyone enjoys ceramic tiles
-
Unfortunately, although beautiful, the toilet block pre-dates the requirement to be wheelchair accessible.
