Architecture nerd alert

I like engineering too!

This is the Anzac Bridge in Sydney for those not local to me.

In my private life, I like architecture. I like Grand Designs, I even like Dream Homes. Mostly I like architecture whether it’s modern, ancient, superb 18th century or Art Deco. I have a sneaking and growing love for outrageous modernism too. Here’s a little in case there are any more of us architecture nerds out there.

I like this fire station! Although the pic in the newspaper was prettier this is kind of spare and industrial with its own charm as a result.

The Sydney Fire Station in Castlereagh Street (left) was built in 1888 and was extended north in 1907 keeping to the same style. The new station with the glass facade that sits further north was completed in 2003, when the old building was restored.

Thanks to Sydney City blogspot for the info and pic!
