In a word... WHAT were they thinking? The "architecture" (per se) doesn't offend me as such; just it's location. Federation Square stands out like a dog's whatsits! When you look at the three facing façades (namely Flinders Street Station, Young & Jackson's, and St Paul's Cathedral), Federation Square is hideous. In a different setting, it may not be such an eyesore. Docklands immediately springs to mind as a suitable location for that style of architecture.

I think the concept and location are great, but I can't believe the sheer ugliness of the architecture, especially given its setting. It's an eyesore! EDIT: It looks like I copied from the answer above, but I hadn't even read it first. When my daughter and I first saw Fed. Square during the Commonwealth Games, we were astonished at how uncomfortably it sat in its surroundings.

What a mess .We had the lovely front of Flinders st station ,across from that the lovely church and the great old pub across from that . then some twit puts the equivalent of a Stars wars mall on the other side of all this I mean let them spend tax dollars on something else . And what about the great metal handkerchief that replaced Spencer st station .
