invisible cities: series 1


invisible2invisible1
invisible4invisible3
Do buildings exist if no one can remember that they were once there? Will we be left with only the landmarks pointing to the official progress of history when buildings and spaces deemed insignificant but bearing collective memory are demolished? Perhaps someone (perhaps I) should start recording lesser known buildings- buildings that may be banal functionally but bears qualities worthy of remembering, immediately as we encounter them, for they may not be there when we want to see them again.

As a start, I'm going to try a little game. Anyone who names all 4 buildings above gets a prize.


And go watch invisible city.

i was so close to tears when the scrawny old english grannie was lamenting she regretted choosing to stay in spore to grow old, and now she is too old to travel back to england liaoz, in a crackling voice and measured ironic smile...

"...perhaps... i never will..."

hints leh... worst these buildings so hard to find. i was thinking the first one was riverwalk apts, at least that is the image that i had in my mind....

The top right picture and the bottom left one is depicting the same building me thinks..

deeeee... wrong, ohaiz.. not even close.

wuks, they are all different buildings. The top right is a give-away. Top left has probably been in the papers fairly recently.

All in CBD area, and some people might even have passed by them when doing site analysis. Come on guys, somebody has already guessed 2 correct.

can we get answers to these already? it's getting overly drawn out.

let's move onto a new set, this way we can remain inquisitive.
