How inspiring to see Frank Gehry's design for the new UTS business school. Whether you like it or hate it, there is no question it is inspired. It is just a shame it will be built on an obscure site in Ultimo. When asked what he thought of Sydney's architecture, Gehry said there were some good buildings but ''a lot of mediocrity''. On page five we can see an outstanding example of the mediocre, with approval given to Lend Lease to start work on the Barangaroo site. What a tragedy.
