Frank Gehry Does UTS.

I was first introduced to Frank Gehry's buildings via The Simpsons, on the episode where Mr. Burns turned one into a prison. I've yet to see one of his buildings in person but have seen many pictures  on the web. As an old boy of UTS, I have been taking an interest on Gehry's plans to build a campus on the old Dairy Farmers site in Ultimo.

On my adventures to the Casino a month or so ago, I made a point to go past the site and see how construction had been going. It was largely a hole in the ground but there are public viewing windows whereby you can monitor its progress.

Fortuately on my outing with my middle sister yesterday, we walked past Ultimo and I had the chance to snap up early progress. Despite my sister feeling like it was a bad part of town, I'm sure it will come alive once this thing is completed.

Yes its very rough and doesn't look like much yet, but I'm looking forward to watching this one take shape and monitoring its progress.
