The D&E assignment by uma in year 2....

Pek’s Island


On the 6th level of the anglo-chinese junior college oldham wing block, there exist a humble balcony shaped in a square and opened on 3 sides. It seems like a space left over in the design of the building and seemingly possess no particular programe.
The journey to this balcony is not any unique experience, it takes the form of a boring and tiring climb up a neverending flight of stairs through a claustrophobic stair well of heavy and stagnant air to a balcony which sits above an office occupied by saddistic, teenager-torturing homosapiens (pe teacher) isolated and separated from the mains school building. Maybe that’s why no one uses it. More importantly, 17teen-year-olds and 18teen-year-olds have better and more ‘happening’ things to do than to embark on this unexciting pilgramage.
I happen to chance upon this space during a particularly taxing week. It immediately hit me as a very pleasant space.
Firstly, it is not enclosed and being on the highest level of the campus, it is all most always winding. In the mornings, the sun explodes into the space warming up the chills of the night; in the afternoon, the constant wind blows away the afternoon heat; in the evening, the main school building shades the sun while gentle breezes welcome in the night; and at night, being away from the escaping heat of the ground, is remains cool. Furthermore, being so high up, there is much need privacy while still being able to see everything that goes on below, from the voiddeck, to the grandstand to the track and sports complex and further of to the laughing and playing kid of the neighbouring school. Being there puts me above the sea of noise below. Up there there is almost silence, where troubles and frustrations are gone with the wind, revitalising me to step back into the dutys and expectations that awaits below.
It is a space set amidst a sea of controlled chaos and cacophony. Virtually unknown and unused by the very entities that created it and live below it.

Opera in Vienna

VIENNA OPERA, originally uploaded by cloudberrie.

like what Nic says:" eh u do set-design one leh....how can miss this kind of thing...." hahaha!!! so when in Vienna, apart from seeping coffee at a café, a visit to the Viena State Opera is a must i guess....Anyway, this neo-classical building is like a architecture-ism rojak. Supposedly, together with its Neo-classical concept, there is also, Romanesque, Baroque, and Renaissance influences. Apparently it was heavily criticized during its construction phase. So much so that one of its 2 original architects, Eduard van der Nüll committed suicide, and the other August Sicard von Sicardsburg died shortly later. None lived to see the opening of their creation. However, Gottfried Semper was responsible for its final look after its rebuilt after wwII.(RMB Gottfried Semper, most of us Archi. peops heard erwin sprouting his name on the first History & Theory of Modern Archi. lecture in year 1. we never heard of and could hardly spell it then)

Theater here is diff from in S'pore...theres actually such things as standing tickets for poor or cheapo peops. and minus the fact that you stand the entire show, its like S$7 and its just behind the stalls. and if like me(after intermission), you could get a space to stand at the very barrier between the stall seats and the stall standing area, the view is as good as sitting in a back row of the stall..hahaha!!!! Anyway, the opera was l'Elisir d'Amore in Italian(of course...). Didn't understand much but think it was something like:
girl like boy, boy like girl, girl somehow choses some other guy, boy does something enormously sacrificial, girl is touch, girl dumps other guy for boy, other guy got motherly screwed.
as for the set, extremely impressive and realistic surface renderings and details on stage elements, but same set through out entire play with only 2 changes in lighting. Maybe it didn't need a changing set or lighting...i wouldn't know.

All in all i would say it was a 2 hour well spent minus the fact that 1/3 of my vertical vision was obstructed by a balding Austrian head before intermission and that my back was scream "&@#^*#@$" after the show...hahah!!!

Giant Ice Sculptures

DSC04178, originally uploaded by cloudberrie.

Innsbruck, Austria.....The new Nordpark Cable Rail Stations by Zaha. Hadid. Consisting of the Congress Station, Loewenhaus Station, Alpenzoo Station and the Hungerberg Station, this cable rail line brings skiers from the center of Innsbruck to the mountains north of Innsbruck....aboves are the photos of the terminal station,Hungerberg Station. Like the usual works from Hadid, they scream for your attention with their highly sculptural and dynamic form. However, in this case, though they stand out distinctively, they still remain harmonious with their picturesque surroundings. Like giant ice sculptures amidst the Austrian mountain-scape.

A Twin??
