Walking along the banks of the Yarra after a Derby Day barbie, someone asked "What's that square thing?" What square thing we wanted to know. We stood looking at the "square" on top of the Mercer building, all of us wondering what it was for.
Suggestions included to look through when you stand on the roof. Another was maybe the building hadn't been completed yet. For my money, I'd say it's to attract attention and get people asking "What's that square thing?"
Maybe they could hang an artsy banner in the SQUARE and change it out every once in a while?
ReplyDeleteI wonder if it is merely part of their logo. I did a search and they have a slogan, "Outside the Square".
ReplyDeleteI have seen several buildings that look unfinished, but that ends up being the architect's plan.
Now we are all curious about it, please try to investigate and then post your finding...
ReplyDeleteGreat photo. Love how you think!
ReplyDeleteLeif - Good idea. There is artwork in the building - why not have some advertising outside?
ReplyDeleteJust Kim - Did some checking. Outside the square is a survey about retirement and money matters.:-)
Vogon Poet - Am working on it as we speak. Will post if, and when, I have an answer.
Buck - You coudld be right. I have a funny feeling the "square" is just for architectural design purposes.
I like the square! Mercer's subtle way of advertising, it's impossible not to read the sign! :-)
