Knack recently filmed the opening of the Westfield Sydney City Complex. Situated in what is undoubtedly the best retail real estate in Australia, Westfield Sydney is bordered by Pitt Street Mall, Castlereagh and Market Streets and integrates the former Centrepoint, Imperial Arcade and Skygarden shopping centres. The centre also conjoins Sydney Tower and the former Sydney Central Plaza and includes two office towers at 85 Market Street and 100 Castlereagh Street.
The first thing one notices about Westfield Sydney is that it’s very very beautiful. The external building design has been undertaken by Melbourne firm John Wardle Architects following an international design competition. The centre’s unique interior design is by internationally renowned Tokyo-based interior design company, Wonderwall, whose projects include the Collette store in Paris and Uniqlo stores worldwide.
The Camera Club is a new community-minded bar & gallery concept that’s dedicated to celebrating creativity through camera-based pursuits. Here’s the visions of the Club’s first exhibition opening…
Each quarterly exhibition is zero percent commission (photographers get 100% of sale proceeds) and will feature ten participating photographers – each of them selected by one of the other participants- – resulting in 10 micro-galleries focusing on a single, overriding theme. The bar and pizzeria will soon support each show with items such as photo-inspired pizza boxes, guest photographer menus and exhibition-inspired cocktails. Ultimately, The Camera Club will also include a working photography studio, member library, vintage photo booth and other camera-related inspiration as well.
