Durbach Block Jaggers
13.04.10
Durbach Block Jaggers' four storey commercial building in Sydney's Kings Cross is a response to the particular character of this 'colourful' precinct. Known affectionally by locals as the 'Barcelona Building' its tiled 'Catalan' form could be seen as a benevolent angel. As a building it's an extraordinary gesture, an artwork that gives of itself whilst accommodating a commercial program of restaurant, bar and offices. In this pleasurable endeavour I was received warmly and amused by amiable locals and ably assisted by Katherin Lu.
