  2. not sure why. Even the most recent pic I just uploaded today, image522.jpg isn't showing up. Seems like this isn't the only album too with missing pics. I hope no more pics are going missing.

  3. I appreciate glass on buildings as it allows natural light to come in but...there seems to be an excessive use of the material in recent buildings...I wonder why it is so? It makes all the buildings look the same.

  4. ya, herd mentality.

    oh and not to mention that full glass in sunny singapore is just.... whats a politically correct word to use here.... inappropriate. They spend millions for the glass facade, then spend more millions to make it double glazed to prevent heat from getting thru, and then spend millions more for the foreseeable future of this building to keep the interior airconditioned to counteract the heat which invariably still gets in... and we're supposed to be going for sustainable living.... bleh. I'd believe it when I see it. Build just one building in a tropical design and save millions of dollars each year in building costs and maintenance and that will save u so much money it'll top anything u do with all the recycling bins and green programmes island-wide... but nooo..... everyone wants a gleaming, shiny western (read: cold weather) style building.

  5. Lol..that's true. They should simply build it traditionally which are designed to shade and cool the interior much more effectively and not to mention, gives the buildings so much more character.

  6. Before they closed up this building with glass, I used to enjoy walking the empty naked floors because it was sooooo breezy, with the west coast just some 200-300m from the building. It was great to sit and read or just tap at my netbook on the univ wifi somehwere on say the 8 or 9th floor... but now, without the airconditioning running, the interior of this building is completely intolerable. I made the stupid mistake of coming to work early one day, forgetting that the glass facade was now installed and couldn't stand sitting at my 7th floor office more than 10 minutes before I gave up and went out to the canteen for breakfast. My shirt was soaked with perspiration from the heat (and this was early in the morning 6am).

  8. hmm the only positive side I see from throwing the millions here is that the economy may benefit from the lavish spending, created some jobs too... but ya, I agree that the glass may not be necc..

    can't see most of the pics...
