Two Point Perspective: the Cross Street parking station

The Cross Street parking station, in Sydney’s Double Bay, is one of those unusual buildings that transforms a simple brief into something special.

The 1977, five level parking station is something of a sculpture in raw concrete. In this podcast Rebecca Hawcroft and Kieran McInerney talk to Sam Marshall about what makes this building remarkable and design architect Furio Valich, to hear how he sees it now revisiting for the first time in over 40 years.
