I'm hoping to get your views on two Perth building that I actually like:<br /><br />1: The Bankwest Tower. I just think it's a really good looking building, particularly the top section.<br /><br />2: The Telstra building. This may be a surprise, as many people hate it, but I think it kinda defines Perth for people in the northern suburbs. It's just ALWAYS been there and nothing looks quite like it. Like, what other building in the world has a quarter pipe on its roof?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4407350117707397641.post-36886739395390067202012-06-01T09:55:12.793+08:002012-06-01T09:55:12.793+08:00Thanks Royce, nice to hear from you.
