The Pinnacle
I don't know why, but i feel blogging about this.
Today's post is strictly about Architecture. Leave if you're not interested.
Anyways, as you all know, right now i'm having Architectural Design Theory for one of my modules.
Which is an interesting module by the way. But the amount of work too be done ah, tsk tsk tsk. Some days i don't even sleep.
Kk, i wanna talk about the building. I don't know if you guys already know about this, but the building is actually a HDB flat.
D:!!!!! I know right?! This building is actually near to completion or completed already, i only got to know about it like a few days ago. Swee Hong was actually lecturing about the achitecture of Singapore. And when the picture of the building came up, the first thought that came to my mind was,"Wah cb! Confirm Condominium want!"
But to my surprise, she told us that it's actually a HDB flat.
And you see the 'link' between the blocks, Arc Studio(the architect) actually designed it for people to jog.
@#$%!!!!
I know you dont care but, sial ah! Compare this building with your flat!
My jaw dropped to the floor, you know!!! And it was designed by a well known architect.
So yeah, it's 50 storeys high. Why Singapore's doing this is because of obvious reason, limited land and increasing population.
I'm actually excited about what Singapore's gonna be like in years to come.
Just imagine, you'll probably won't see your normal HDB flats. Everything's gonna be tall buildings.
I know it's a bad sign(dunia khiamat D:!!!!) but, i talking in terms of architecture.
Pretty soon, architects from all over the world's gonna design our HDB flats.
And i thought, there's no future for architects in Singapore. Pfft.
You know, this module have made me fall in love with Architecture.
And maybe someday, i want to be an architect.
Maybe someday, i'll get to design your HDB flat, or be recognized internationally.
But the only way to achieve that is to go through university. That's where my problem is.
The only thing that's getting in the way of me and studying is money.
Hais....
