Made your mark? 12-Feb-2017 At 2:08:11 AM Andy P

OK, some may find the following somewhat self-indulgent but I do not mean to be self-indulgent, just asking who else has "left their mark" and what examples can we see on a daily basis? Also a lame attempt to inject something different in to this boring-beyond-belief web site.

EG being : Was wandering through Melbourne's Docklands, Southbank and the CBD last week and saw no end of abseilers dangling off high-rise buildings. It was genuinely bizarrre - yet self-congratulatory as a 'nobody' amongst the crowd at a street cafe looking up ,,, thinking heck, I designed their anchor points, davit arms, lateral (facade) restraints and all those split balustrade staunchions off a set of paper plans several years ago.....

I think from last count I was up to around 100+ buildings and press me I can rattle off the entire design from memory.

So, back to the original question: Who's left a 'mark' on our csociety's built form fabric?

AP.
