Really looks so good. Must be quite a mathematical feat to get the rainbow like that.

Love it! the power of color and the time to apply it with thought equals an otherwise average building becoming something way beyond average. 🙂

This is very impressive, particularly on public housing. Is that any meaning of the rainbow in Singapore ? In the. U.S., it represents the LGBT community.

The semi-circular open protruding staircase is a brilliant design! It has a sunshine effect, and making people feeling good by going up or down the stairs. In the T-lab building, and most NUS buildings, the stairs are really badly build just for the function as fire stair case, and they often located at the back of the building and covered, so not many people would want to use it, people just use lift. I think we can’t blame people being lazy, if the interior designs of the building is not aesthetically appealing, although outside is.

yes! I personally favor on those open-air concept staircases, partly because that is the place where i grown, and also i love sky and nature very much, I remember it happened to me at once, when I was trying to peep thru staircase that wrapped round with perforated steel sheet, passer-by return me with a strange look, that is me! I am weird person in other eyes.

I think the architectural design is more than arts, it is about matching the environment, care for the psychological effect it has with its inhabitants, and people living around. I remember my friend, Li Xiaodong, a professor in architectural department of NUS 10 years ago, and now a professor in Qinghua University in Beijing, showed me his works of arts and designs, it ignited my curiosity in the relation between arts, architecture, human, and nature.
My family is planing to bring my mom home from the nursing home, to take care of her even she has not woken up, then it will be more convenient for us to stay with her most of the time. Luckily I was an athlete so I can still manage with the load of accompanying her and taking care of her, and with the help of my siblings =).
Thanks you Sidney for your kind wishes!

this is one of the balance left, I believe they are not going to do that, what I can do now is to take a picture for a memory and last me forever, thanks for spending time to read my articles, I am really appreciated, cheers!
