BREAKING NEWS

OMG this is damn demotivating lor.

Apparently Frank Gehry is getting sued by MIT for building design flaws.

So imagine if something as great as Gehry can get sued, how on earth are we all going to survive lah?! Build blocks all our lives meh.

Sorry, that was the panic talking. But isn't it so appaling! Knowing that we architects have limitless liabilities is stressful enough, we can get sued over.. over anything at all as long as we're alive. Yes that's true, I talked to the first architect dude who brought me around his office and he seemed to drill that fact in alot. I guess that this IS reminder that architecture ain't all designing buildings in the clouds (like my Engineering friends always say - damn they'd be having a good laugh now) it all comes down to practicality too. There are only so many ways to designing and overcoming solutions, but bear in mind the workability of it too. Design for the building's sake.


Hope ya'll are hanging in there with final submissions and all around the corner, just focus on the positive - be optimistic and keep your eyes on the goal - the HOLIDAYS after! Hah as for me, it'll be blisssss at Bali. heh.


OH btw, just a quick announcement:

We'd appreciate very much if we could get some artistic hands on the Hilton Christmas Train Project. Those who are good in art, painting, detailing - you will have one heck of a time. A GOOD time ah, so please dont let the overwhelming size of the model scare you. Just let any of us from the committee know ya! Thanks :)

AND ALL THE BEST peeps! And most of all, remember to have fun.
