> Back in June we sought bright ideas from the Melbourne community for the small yet very prominent plot of land formerly occupied by the Bureau of Meteorology (BoM) through an article in The Age <http://www.theage.com.au/victoria/royal-society-open-to-offers-for-its-city-site-but-only-in-the-best-possible-taste-20150609-ghjsa4.html> and subsequent radio discussion.

> We have been truly amazed by the wealth of creative thinking Melburnians have demonstrated in coming forward with ideas for our little block of land!  The process for making a submission was necessarily broad, the terms vague, and attempted to limit conceptual work to only a few pages, providing some idea of the embodied cost of construction and likely return on investment. The interpretation of these parameters by different agencies was almost as creative as their actual content.
