there is a maturation of my ideas now.
architecturally.
though i'm sure i have much more to do to improve.
but i think the choices which i was led to make were all God planned.

The racial and ethnic relations module help me understand the complexities of human behavioral patterns and why there are preconceived prejudices of minority groups.
and it made me aware of how architecture somehow is invariably affected by similar beliefs.

How architecture usually relates to the site.
and its geometry, demographics, history. etcetera.

i was thinking, architecture should respond more to the people living in that era. A truer and more honest response rather than responding to what already is there(ie the past).Of course there are buildings like the copthorne waterfront that seem to have no relation to the site other than to stand out as a grand piece of architecture.
The jiak kim bridge i feel responds pretty nicely to its surroundings. its shape is not only architecturally pleasing but it also responsive to the shape of the river. and its unique engineering design ( a bridge supported by 1 arch)also makes the bridge appear like a marker that indicates the ending point of the singapore river.

and looking back, buildings are build with a certain indication of power.
Zouk was a piece of architecture built in the colonial era?
