It is trying hard for the kahn vibe, but lacks the restraint to pull it off successfully. I think the quality of the photos make this building appear better than it is in the flesh.

Perth needs all the venues it's got as well as the new ones opening. Maybe the talk of it being closed when the new State Theatre opens is just a rumour – I really hope so.

Signage is miss-aligned and ill-proportioned. Colours are an odd assortment and inconsistant (cream, black, grey/aged bronze?, red, Purple, white, maroon and burgundy) Was a beautiful modest modernist building that gets treated like too many others of its ilk (used and abused then discarded) Everything that has been added or altered about this facade fails to even attempt to match the order of its original form.

So NOT Art Deco. Just one colour please! Let the light and shadow of the geometric shape details be the feature, not candy-stripes of pink and blue, ugh.
