Copenhagen Solutions

Dropped by URA (Urban Redevelopment Authority) Singapore over the weekend to check out their urban planning exhibition - Copenhagen Solutions.

Been digging a little deeper into urban planning and doing some reading on Copenhagen recently. Definitely a very interesting read; besides the fact that Denmark itself being the happiest country in the world, Copenhagen has a global reputation for being the bicycle city, in which the urban planning and policy are designed to encourage cycling as the core transportation in the city.

New on my list - Copenhagen!

Copenhagen Solution

A 3d model showing what I believe is part of the urban greenery design ( I mean a park!)

Windmill modal - leveraging the wind to create sustainable and clean energy for the city
Urban residential project built based on the idea of private garden for each residential unit
3d modal of The Prism (Sports and cultural facilities as seen)

3d modal of The Crystal
no idea what this is, probably part of the urban planning to encourage social interaction among the residents 









































































































Further reading on Copenhagen / Denmark:
  • denmark.dk  >> Nicely designed country website (not your Truly Asia website) to provide insight and overview for the country
  • kk.dk >> just discovered this and still going through. Amazingly they have an English version which looks 10 times better than the Danish version itself.

The Thirsty Crowd

Just completed last week!

Hand painted canvas bag for my lil brother's birthday! The painting is based on the story of the thirsty crow. Google if you haven't heard of it.

A lil bit more here.

Finished!

On the right is the Thirsty Crowd and on the left is my first hand-painted canvas bag for myself 8 years ago.
(2004, still shiny and looking good!)
It said "FST", which is a short form for my then-artist name - Faust

Gillman Barracks

Last night was the opening for Gillman Barracks. It's a new place in town featuring both local and international galleries.

Small world, new friends, fresh works - that pretty much sums up an awesome Friday night :)
