hello
endorphIAN says:
yos
ks says:
have been thinking bout the covent garden thingy..
ks says:
it's similar yet the building there is now successful
endorphIAN says:
yup
endorphIAN says:
lessons?
ks says:
a building standing in the middle has no problem....
ks says:
but...
ks says:
the difference is it is more multi-functional rather than just market stalls , that's y it is popular n socially suitable for many kinds of people..
ks says:
isn't it?
endorphIAN says:
yup
endorphIAN says:
interesting to find out what the original market sold
endorphIAN says:
my guess is that it was very much like taiping market
endorphIAN says:
i.e. wet market
ks says:
vege n stuffs
endorphIAN says:
yeah
endorphIAN says:
the artsee fartsee
endorphIAN says:
and yuppie
endorphIAN says:
and touristy stuff
endorphIAN says:
came later
endorphIAN says:
when they redeveloped it
ks says:
yes..
endorphIAN says:
Central Market has similar, but not same, story
endorphIAN says:
the wet stuff has been relocated
endorphIAN says:
and the shell of the building retained
endorphIAN says:
the inside's all transformed
endorphIAN says:
important that the shell (at least) remains
endorphIAN says:
for continuity, rite?
ks says:
yeah right
ks says:
i think covent garden's original wet market is also gone? in 1973
ks says:
when it was no longer suitable to be there
endorphIAN says:
should be the fact
ks says:
have to think if this is the same for the taiping old market now
endorphIAN says:
yup, but even if it is
endorphIAN says:
i think to do something similar
ks says:
is not suitable
endorphIAN says:
is too big a project for our Project 2
endorphIAN says:
yeah
endorphIAN says:
good idea
endorphIAN says:
it can be the conclusion of your research and exploration
endorphIAN says:
then you can decide not to touch this building in this way
endorphIAN says:
so you leave it for the real full potential to happen
endorphIAN says:
or you can have this as a masterplan and do your visitor centre in a way that won't
endorphIAN says:
get in the way when the real big thing happens
endorphIAN says:
so it can function nicely as a visitor center
endorphIAN says:
WHETHER the masterplan is enacted or not
endorphIAN says:
that would be SUPER clever
ks says:
err.... i am getting blurred lol
endorphIAN says:
aiyah
endorphIAN says:
you ar
endorphIAN says:
i mean,
endorphIAN says:
you can dream up the redevelopment of the entire market
endorphIAN says:
i mean all 3 buildings redeveloped
endorphIAN says:
like covent and Central
endorphIAN says:
you show a conceptual masterplan for final presentation
endorphIAN says:
and one part of this masterplan is actually ur visitor center
ks says:
got it!
ks says:
ok clearer now
ks says:
that means i dun have to
ks says:
literally 'do everything'
endorphIAN says:
which can still function NOW even without the complete redevelopment of the master plan
endorphIAN says:
yala
ks says:
hmm.....great....i'll think about it
.....................
ks says:
but guess we cant always hold on too much to preconceptions or assumptions?
ks says:
need consider thoroughly n at different points of views...
endorphIAN says:
ya
endorphIAN says:
i think if the overall building shell is still intact
endorphIAN says:
then it's not a disaster
ks says:
still is judged by justifications i suppose..
endorphIAN says:
always
ks says:
ya
endorphIAN says:
if it's not a total redevelopment then i think it's important that you do not displace any of the stall holders at the moment
ks says:
hmm i c..
endorphIAN says:
the very obvious thing is to just redevelop the food court into a new visitor centre with food court
endorphIAN says:
modern and nice and comfortable enough for jxxxxx
endorphIAN says:
and it's kind of in a prominent point
endorphIAN says:
can be seen from all vistas
endorphIAN says:
etc. etc.
endorphIAN says:
can be tall
endorphIAN says:
and expansive
endorphIAN says:
with wings
endorphIAN says:
and limbs
endorphIAN says:
and underground connections to all over
endorphIAN says:
and everybody's happy
ks says:
hmm...
ks says:
but a bit sien , to me..
endorphIAN says:
make it unsien
endorphIAN says:
intellectual research has to be tough and rigorous
endorphIAN says:
like if the conclusion is negation of initial fancies
endorphIAN says:
then, so be it
ks says:
yeah, but havent come to a conclusion i hope
endorphIAN says:
haha
endorphIAN says:
i guess your still exploring the original idea
endorphIAN says:
keep going
endorphIAN says:
and don't forget the monument
endorphIAN says:
space can be used to be fused into the head of the market building
endorphIAN says:
so that may be another approach
ks says:
yeah...
ks says:
must try explore as many varieties as possible la............
ks says:
hope wun conclude with a too much compromising n sien solution......
endorphIAN says:
yup good
ks says:
still wana be egoistic.... a bit also nvm
endorphIAN says:
the final do-able solution is always the BEST solution
endorphIAN says:
and it's never the FANCIFUL idea
endorphIAN says:
egoistic doesn't necessarily mean big and all encompassing and heroic
endorphIAN says:
it can mean small and modest but stamped indelibly with an unique character
endorphIAN says:
EXQUISITE's the word
And a special highlight...
endorphIAN says:
shoot the idea doesn't mean shoot the person
endorphIAN says:
even if it sounds like it
endorphIAN says:
ideas are cheap
endorphIAN says:
people are precious
ks says:
yeah wor...
endorphIAN says:
when tutors shoot they don't shoot people
endorphIAN says:
they shoot ideas
endorphIAN says:
even if it don't sound like it
(we know it but sometimes just don't understand it! or rather just me?!)
