		<description><![CDATA[Apologies for lack of communication over the break period &#8211; the lack of wi-fi where I was staying in Morocco made it impossible. I came back to the terrible aftermath of the Queensland floods, which you may not realise also exacted its toll on the Queensland Chapter offices located on Merivale Street, South Brisbane.

		<description><![CDATA[Correct me if I’m wrong, but I’m thinking Ted Baillieu is the first Australian architect to make the career move to State Premier? Please let me know if I’m wrong and you can identify any predecessors around the country – or even any architects that have held senior cabinet posts. I expect a dearth, but [...]]]></description>

The city continues to show the obvious effects of the GFC, with half empty or half finished or shelved projects commonplace. For the first time, I ventured to the top of the world’s tallest building, the Burj Khalifa. When my practice designed the Eureka Tower [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A recent conversation with a colleague focused on Australia’s place as a key player in the Asian region, and our proximity to some of the largest business markets in the world.
