an amazing new building - Dupain Building
Regular readers to my page will know that I love interesting buildings such as Frank Lloyd Wright's Guggenheim Museum and the house Falling Water, Jørn Utzon's Sydney Opera House, and William Van Alen's Chrysler Building.
There is soon to be a new building in Sydney called the Dupain Building.
Max Dupain was one of Australia's most famous and celebrated photographers. He took black and white photographs of iconic Australian images. One of the most famous of these is Sunbaker a print of which hangs in the National Gallery of Australia in Canberra.

Another of his works is Bondi which was taken in 1939. Bondi is one of the world's most famous beaches. Young British backpackers visiting Australia consider a visit to Bondi de rigueur as part of their Australian experience.
The photograph of Bondi shows a couple standing at the beach.

This picture will soon turn into one of Sydney's biggest art installations turning into the facade of the new Dupain Building in King Street. It is being built by ARM, and will stand 48 metres high and 51 metres wide.

The building (under construction) was also featured in the June edition of Wallpaper magazine which is one of my human's favourites.
**I was going to mention that today, 1 July is the start of Australia's financial (or fiscal) year which means it will be time soon to lodge income tax returns. Today was also the day that the Australian government has full control of the Senate which means that they are able to make drastic changes. The first of these will be industrial relations laws.
........ooooooooOOOOOOOOoooooooo........
Today, I was fortunate to have the radio changed to ABC Radio National, so listened to some interesting things as I napped. I should mention that the last two mornings I got ham!!!
