Barangaroo bidders go with the flow THE three designs short-listed for the Crown Resorts development at Lend Lease's Barangaroo project on the Sydney foreshore demonstrate a new approach to the design of towers. Three architecture firms are competing to design the hotel: Adrian Smith + Gordon Gill, WilkinsonEyre and Kohn Pedersen Fox. "The three designs for the Crown and Lend Lease hotel tower at Barangaroo demonstrate architecture of flowing shapes that imply movement as opposed to older static tower forms," said Chris Johnson, chief executive of the Urban Taskforce, a property industry group. The three architects have incredible global track records designing tall buildings. Clearly, each team can deliver a quality final product.
