The Australian Institute of Architects has demanded an apology from the NSW premier over his "distasteful" comments in relation to development at Sydney's Barangaroo precinct.
Last week, Premier Dominic Perrottet held a joint press conference with former prime minister Paul Keating to announce height and floor space limits for the last remaining developments in the waterfront precinct.
Transforming the former shipping container yard has long been a pet project for Mr Keating, who last Thursday praised the area's most famous building, the Crown casino tower, as the most "beautiful in Australia".
