Darwin Convention Centre - at Night

We do have a new Waterfront Convention Centre in Darwin. The NT Government has spent a lot of our money on the project.

It does seem to be "smart" architecturally, but it can also be very hot in the afternoon, as they do not seem to have got the glare and sun protection right when you are inside but not actually in a meeting room.

It does have a spectacular appearance at night though. Almost ethereal, with that purple glow around the roof edges.





Even more intriguing is the large piece of street art, made from aluminium. While interesting in daylight, it is a delightful art piece at night.






Street or similar public art works are often devisive - love 'em or loath 'em.
Well, I do like this piece of art!
