I'm asking because I have a genuine interest in the subject matter. I can't speak for why others ask...
As one genuinely interested person to another: It's because the way the mechanics work around here is that threads are bumped when there is new information available, given by a poster or one of the admins on the respective project. Up until that point, it remains dormant because your guesses is as good as ours. You are feel free to look the respective thread quietly to glean off whatever info has been made available. But until such point, please don't bump threads unnecessarily...unless you have new information yourself. Thank you. And hope this helps.
I like that red/orange obelisk too (well...that's what it looked like to me)...but I'm not sure that it was sitting well with council. I think current version has a lot more going for it both in the conventional and unconventional. And that's a good thing, IMO.
I agree with this- the original designs were more striking, but at a glance, I do like that the new design creates more defined urban blocks- some of the spaces could be quite intimate.
