and so i went on a date with femme
i had been missing femme's clicks for the whole week, so she and i went on an impromptu date to one north for a bit of fun.
it wasn't raining for once, it was crazily sunny in fact...but when i walked in between the buildings it suddenly became wonderfully shady...i'm no fan of zaha hadid, but she did understand something of the tropics when she determined 'that no building shall be further than 12 feet from each other'...generating people friendly spaces in-between buildings. Even her zig-zag shapes worked here, at least for the little parks and nooks and crannies, because it generated a feeling of un-intention...and one felt like these spaces were 'accidentally there, and that was what was so pretty about it.
hmm...the reason why i am crapping so much is because only one photograph turned out okay...but still, we had fun together, femme and i. So it wasn't that much of a waste.
i like it because it looks like a render. haha.
Okay, here are some of the other shots...but not good stuff, so be warned.
'paper'
i took this at hall on the way to the busstop...
meet this centralized generator room thing (actually i'm not sure what it is...will find out) it is more efficient...and looking at it, you wouldn't imagine it was a centralized generator room thingie, right? quite nice.
one of those zig zag nooks and crannies i mentioned. i likey.
i was thinking it looked cool and all that (think jaws...) but um...fail lah.

no really, no kidding. it's quite a nice looking artpiece...but i don't understand it...@@
i liked neuros...(maybe cos it was boxy...)
the photograph doesn't do justice to the tree...it's an original rainforest tree that got transplanted and kept in a nursery in Malaysia during the construction of One North and then got carted back to Singapore to be placed where it originally was. I don't approve of how it was done (hark my idealism) but i suppose there is something poetic about 'how the tree was put back to where is originally belonged and all that).
still, it looked a bit fantasy landish and i liked that...the juxtaposition of raw nature and that futuristic looking building at the back.
