En bloc

Form magazine, in their September issue, covered a few large, old apartments, in a spirit of defiance, perhaps, against the onslaught of en bloc sales recently.

I would really like to suggest featuring renovated apartments in buildings that have already been slated for en bloc. I know there's at least one cool, well renovated apartment in Habitat 1(also Habitat II- but of course, the demolition of the Habitat condominiums is no less a travesty), a cool unit in Grange Tower, one in Lucky Tower and of course, Futura's in danger too...

the Biennale(again)


Went to the biennale at the singapore art museum- there were a lot of different, ongoing exhibitions co-existing within the same space in the museum i thought. There was Zaha Hadid's 'All the Best' and 'Telah terbit' co-existing within the same space and I had a difficult time figuring which bit was actually the biennale(especially between the 'Telah Terbit' and the Biennale).

The picture above was from 'Telah Terbit'- I cant remember which artist it was by but i loved the piece! The merging of goddess and whore? I can just imagine it in the dining area of some really sleek modern apartment(the disgustingly hip, clinical combination of open concept stainless steel kitchen and white marble everyting else)
